Duane Below came in for relief of Crosby and pitched a scoreless inning and 2/3 before giving way to Brayan Villarreal who got the last 2 outs of the 6th inning.
After a single by Bryan Holaday and walk to Austin Jackson, they both advanced 1 base on a wild pitch with Brennan Boesch at the plate and 1 out. Boesch ended up hitting a ground ball to 1st base, but it scored Holaday from 3rd base and tied the game 4-4.

Coke got the first out of the 8th inning, then Joaquin Benoit came in and got the last 2 outs of the inning. Benoit came back out and pitched a scoreless 9th inning.
Jose Valverde came in for the 10th inning, but after a base hit, a sacrifice bunt turned into a throwing error, and an intentional walk to load the bases, the Rockies scored 4 runs in the inning. Valverde was pulled with 2 outs in the 10th inning; Luis Marte came in to get the last out of the inning, but not before allowing 4 more runs to score.
