Oh and that Rickie Weeks ground out that ended the game with the tying run on third? It came on a 19 on a 1-18 single, 19-20 ground out chance.

The Rockies had a 5-1 lead thanks to a 4 run 3rd, when Todd Helton and Garrett Atkins hit back to back doubles with 2 out and the bases loaded.

Franklin Morales of the Rockies takes on Dave Bush of the Brew Crew in game 2.
