Marlins vs. Rockies Game Highlights (8/28/24) | MLB Highlights

In day one of the two days of bark in the park, things started out very nicely for the Rockies. The game turned into a dog. It was that Jack 6 to 1 lead for the Rockies at one point led 8 to 4 in that ninth inning. Let that thing get away. Second time. They've done that with the Marlins this year and too many times overall this year for the Rockies Kyle Freeland who pitched very well. His last time out that game at New York gave up just two earned runs against the explosive Yankees lineup and he's back home where he usually pitches really well at the Rockies. Feel good about him being on the hill tonight. Conor Norby hitting from the right side will lead it off against the Rockies. Lefty kyle Freeland Freeland delivers and this one is sent high in the air to shallow. Right going out. Chunk coming in is jake Cave and he makes the catch had a big two run double in the rally last night when the Marlins scored five in the ninth and won it 9 to 8. That strike three on the inside corner, two outs that will bring up Jonah 32 pitches tapped out to the mound. Freeland grabs it sets throws and gets him. The good athlete makes a nice athletic play. Kyle down in order no scores. The Rockies come to bat numbers for Max Meyer this year. This will be his 10th start. No decision against the Cubs Friday in Miami and trying to get back into that zone great at the beginning and trying to regain that form since being recalled, a 736 a in five starts swing and a miss strike three, a beautiful slider for Max Meer and he collects his first strike out of the ball game in his first out here. First offering to Tovar misses outside with the fastball and now a fastball is hit on the ground to shortstop up with it is Otto Lopez getting a start at shortstop tonight and he throws it on over to first to retire. Tovar. Here's Ryan Mcmahon who hits a big one hopper out behind second base Lopez hasn't played perfectly fires it on over to first in the side is retired. So both Meer and Freeland perfect in the first no scores. We go to the second. Did you know that Derek Hill is the cousin of 17 year big league veteran Darryl Strawberry. Derek Hill leads off the top of the second inning for the Marlins and he hits one high and deep to left field. This has got a chance and it's gone. Derek Hill, a leadoff homer here in the second and it's one nothing Miami. He came into the ball game tonight, just one for six over his last five games. Arnolds of course, used a big home run from a fielder last night, Jesus Sanchez that three run shot in the ninth inning to take the lead and ultimately win the ball game and they get one from the left fielder tonight. Start for the Marlins this evening, here comes Otto Lopez who draws the assignment at shortstop tonight. Here's a ground ball to first to , he has got it, flips it to Freeland but he can't get to first in time. Otto Lopez out random and that's a hard earned infield single second hit of the ball game for the Marlins second base on a pass ball and he steals third base on the delayed steal. That was the most delayed of delayed steals that will bring Griffin Kine to the plate in his first major league start last night was two for four with a double and a triple and a miss got him with the slider. When Kyle really needed a strikeout, he gets it two outs and the infield can back up. The one strike pitch is grounded sharply to the shortstop. Ovar throws it to first to retire pace and the Marlins here in the second inning, but they do get themselves a leadoff homer from Derek Hill, a run on two hits they leave a man at third. It's 1 to 0. Miami after an inning and a half of play from Cosel tonight, base runner for the Rockies speedy one at that and Brit Doyle, we'll see if Nolan Jones can keep the inning going. 2 to 2 on Jones and a bouncy ball to the Jones has tied this ball game with a single in the second. Got it with enough to get by the diving try of Bride. And that feels good for Nolan to pick up an RB I Jones at first. Another left handed hitter Drew Romo. Switch hitter hitting left handed Jones, a steel threat has a good lead at first pitch to Romo. The runner takes off for second base and he's out, caught stealing goes 2 to 6.A great throw by Fortes behind the plate to cut down Jones, the speedy outfielder at second Rockies get a run on a hit here in the second and we're tied at one as we go to the third, 2 to 2 on Drew, he was at the plate but Nolan Jones was cut down trying to steal shallow center. This one could drop it and Then it gets it. We'll see how they score a double for ball dropped in front and he overran the ball did pa in center. He's a very good defensive outfielder but didn't play that one very well. And the Rockies have Romo at second throw out to second base gets off, the second baseman's glove. Norby rolls into right field. Romo is going to be sent home. Here comes, the throw home is, it's a two base error on a pick off attempt at second base. Romo has above average speed, especially as catchers go and he was sent home by Warrens Rockies lead 2 to 1. Marlins trailing 2 to 1 here in the fourth inning. And now the batter will be Griffin Conine who struck out swinging in his first at bat tonight, that is hit on a line into center field. That's a base hit. Here comes Janah, racing towards the plate. The balls cut off at the mound. That's the first big league run better than for Griffin Kine who ties this ball game at two here in the fourth boy, that ball was smoked and that's really all he's done in these last two ball games is hit the ball extremely , extremely hard, but he is really hitting the ball with some type of authority top of the fifth inning. Here at Coors field. We're tied at two trying to win his 59th game as a, the Marlins again threatening to take the lead tied at two with runners at 1st and 3rd with one out here in the fifth and here's Jonah Bride. He's one for two with a run scored tonight. 12 to Bride and a Miss got him with a slider and that's the second time tonight. Kyle has gotten a strikeout with a runner at third and that's what Kyle so good at bearing down when he really needs to get an out. Whether a strikeout or another out, got the strikeout. There needs to get Derek Hill to keep the game tied at 22 on two out. One pitch is a bouncing ball up. The middle shunk stumbles, recovers flips to Tovar, they get the force on berger at second and no damage done halfway through. Tied at two. Aaron Shunk walked his first time up one of two issued by it of all time. Aaron Shunk, the Rockies take a 3 to 2 lead, jumped on the first pitch and did not miss that 429 ft off Max Meyer by aaron Shunk. We head to the bottom of the 6th , 3 to 2 Rockies, 3 to 2 here in the bottom of the sixth inning. First and second coming on the pitch for Miami left hander Kent Emanuel. Second time we've seen him in the series a 582 a covering 17 innings and now Nolan Jones at the plate two pitch to Jones and a ground ball up the middle it into center field. It's a base hit Doyle scores to , is heading to third. Here's the throw to third. It's late in the base Jones. Second RB I single for Nolan Jones tonight, the Rockies have taken a 4 to 2 lead now, two in scoring position and the conventional double play is gone to at third Jones at second Romo in the game in a line drive right to the shortstop play at home, throws it away to scores. Now Jones going to try to score. He is another error on the Marlins. The Rockies scored two on the play 6 to 2. Colorado Brenon Doyle figuring it's going to be close. He got a good break on this ball and Lopez nowhere close with the throw and when they couldn't find the ball right away, Nolan Jones just kept on running good , good baserunning by the Rockies through 7.5 and 6 to 2. Rockies and the first two men are on base for the Rockies here in the slider has been tough tonight on Ezekiel. He has struck out his last three times up, grounded out his first time up two is hit towards right center field can get it. It's going to score two. Tovar will hold it second.
