Extra Innings Single Rallies Colorado Rockies Past Miami Marlins for Series Sweep

What to Know

  • Harold Ramírez had three hits and two RBIs to help put the Marlins ahead as starter Jordan Yamamoto struck out nine in 5 2/3 innings.

Garrett Hampson hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 10th inning, and the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat the Miami Marlins 7-6 on Sunday, completing a three-game sweep.

Nolan Arenado homered twice for Colorado, which has won four straight and swept a series for the first time since June 18-20.

The Rockies loaded the bases with no outs in the 10th against Jeff Brigham (2-2). Yonathan Daza had an infield single, Raimel Tapia reached on second baseman Isan Díaz's second error of the game and Ryan McMahon singled.

The Marlins brought right fielder Brian Anderson into the infield, leaving two outfielders. Brigham struck out Ian Desmond before Hampson lifted a pitch to left to score Daza.

Arenado gave the Rockies a 4-3 lead in eighth inning with his 30th home run of the season, a two-run shot off of reliever Austin Brice. Colorado's Wade Davis, who moved back into the closer's role he lost to Scott Oberg two weeks ago, started the ninth by walking Jorge Alfaro. Lewis Brinson doubled and Neil Walker singled to tie it.

Carlos Estevez (2-2) came on and allowed a sacrifice fly and Brian Anderson's double, which gave Miami a 6-4 lead. But Díaz's error in the bottom of the inning helped the Rockies tie it against Ryne Stanek. Charlie Blackmon's RBI single and a sacrifice fly by Trevor Story sent the game to extra innings.

Blackmon hit his 26th homer in the sixth to cut the Marlins' lead to 3-2.
