The Colorado Rockies on Sunday ended a six-game shedding streak with a 2-1 win over the visiting Seattle Mariners in 10 innings. The Rockies, nevertheless, appeared to win by way of walk-off house run within the backside of the ninth, however Jacob Stallings’ double/potential homer was dominated on overview to be an out due to fan interference. 

With two outs within the house half of the ninth in a scoreless sport, Stallings drove a first-pitch fastball from Ryne Stanek deep to left. Out in left, Seattle’s Dylan Moore tried to make a play on Stallings’ drive, but it surely wound up bouncing off a fan’s glove and again onto the sphere of play. Umpires initially referred to as it a double, however a crew-chief problem despatched it to the overview sales space. The overview, to say the least, didn’t go the best way Rockies hoped: 

It appeared that the ball, left unimpeded, would have cleared the fence, however on the similar time, it appeared like Moore had a possible “theft” play on it. Thus, fan interference was the ruling on overview, and Stallings’ would-be walk-off homer was as a substitute a procedural third out of the body. 

Thankfully for Colorado – and what could also be a baseball variant of “ball do not lie” – it received its walk-off in any case, on Ryan McMahon’s infield single within the tenth inning. The 34-year-old Stallings, nevertheless, missed out on what would’ve been his first homer of the season, twenty fifth of his profession, and fourth of the walk-off selection. 

The Rockies entered this sport, the primary of a Sunday doubleheader, with the worst file within the Nationwide League and their worst begin by means of the primary 20 video games of the season in franchise historical past. The loss dropped the Mariners to 1 sport under .500 at 10-11.
