Terrible loss tonight for the Rockies.
It looked like Jonathan Herrera was going to be the hero after being the goat. Herrera let a double play grounder go through his legs that led to a 3-run third for the Marlins. But Herrera hit his first big league homer in the 8th, a 3-run shot to give Colorado an 8-7 lead.
But in the bottom of the 9th, Huston Street issued a 2-out walk to Dan Uggla. By the way, the pitch Uggla walked on looked like a strike. Anyway, the next batter, Donnie Murphy, just up from AAA, homered to right to give the Marlins a dramatic 9-8 win over Colorado. It was just Murphy's 4th at-bat of the season.
Ubaldo Jimenez was lifted in the 6th but didn't get the loss. Small consolation.
