The Rockies set a team record by scoring 13 runs in the 5th inning in beating the Giants, 17 – 7. Trevor Story leads things off with a homer off losing P Matt Cain, and drives in another run with a single later in the frame. Vin Mazzaro gives up 9 runs while retiring a single batter, and the Giants commit a pair of costly errors to add fuel to the fire. Colorado starter Chris Rusin drives in a pair in the record-setting inning and has a ten-run lead when he leaves the game, but as he only manages 4 1/3 innings, he doesn’t get the win, which goes to reliever Christian Bergman instead.

6/25/1943 – In a game in Boston, the Yankees batted out of turn twice. In the top of the third, the New Yorkers had a run across when Joe Gordon doubled in the second run on the inning. Sox manager Joe Cronin came out and told plate umpire Bill Summers that Gordon had batted out of turn. In the initial frame, Gordon had struck out so Cronin wisely let the infraction pass. Gordon was listed seventh on the official batting order but had been listed sixth on the lineup given to the press. The proper batter, Rollie Hemsley, was called out and Nick Etten was returned to the base paths and his run negated. Gordon hit a solo homer in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 2 runs each. The contest was eventually called for darkness at 7:50pm after the eleventh inning. Etten’s run in the third would have allowed the Yankees to win the game.
