Colorado Rockies beat Giants with walk-off hit

After the San Fransisco Giants opened up to a 4-0 lead over the Colorado Rockies on Monday in the first inning, it looked over. But, the struggling Rockies pulled off a big sixth and seventh inning and then a walk-off hit by Charlie Blackmon in the bottom of the ninth that propelled the Rockies to a 10-9 win.

Colorado continues to sit in last place of a very talented NL West with a 55-83 record. The Rockies lost superstar shortstop Troy Tulowitzki who was placed on the 15-day disabled list July 22, three days after he was hurt running out a grounder at Pittsburgh and then was ruled out for the rest of the season when he had to undergo hip surgery,
