For the first time this season, the Colorado Rockies have been swept at home. In what was initially a pitchers dual through the first five innings, turned into another scoring fest in the late innings. The Rockies carried a one run lead into the ninth inning but still new to being a closer, Carlos Estévez could not slam the door shut and instead was responsible for the four total runs given up in the ninth. His fifth blown save of the season.The loss drops the Rockies to 63-77 overall and 45-27 at home. Meanwhile with the sweep, the Giants are now the first team in the major leagues to reach 90 wins.

RoxGifsVids September 8, 2021Giants come from behind to winWith Daniel Bard out of the closer role indefinitely, Carlos Estévez came into the ninth inning with a one run lead to shut the door on the Giants. That was exactly what did NOT happen. The sirens were beginning to go off after Estévez walked the leadoff batter Buster Posey on four straight pitches. Thairo Estrada came off the bench and knocked in a single just past the glove of Ryan McMahon. Then on what is probably the strangest defensive play in Brendan Rodgers’ young career, he fielded a ground ball from a slow Brandon Belt but got up and did not attempt a throw to first base. That decision loaded the bases with ZERO outs and a clutch young hitter in LaMonte Wade Jr. coming up to bat.
