An 8-run explosion by the Rockies in the 10th inning takes them to a 12 – 4 win over the Tigers. For the Rockies, it’s the most runs they have ever scored in an extra inning; the win stops an 8-game losing streak and is their first in 10 interleague games this year. A fielding error by P Jose Valverde on Eric Young’s sacrifice bunt sets up the big inning, and Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer hit back-to-back homers off Luis Marte before the Rox are done.
