According to Elias Sports Bureau and MLB.com, Rockies was the first team to win after releasing nine races in the first lap since the then Cleveland Indians did in a 15-13, 10-of-going triumph of Kansas City Royals in 2006. Cleveland drew games 10-1 after an entrance.
The other three apartments where a team won a game after allowing at least nine races in the first lap returned in 1884, 1896 and 1913.
“Getting nine in the first thing, it’s hard to get back from, but we kept the energy high,” Doyle said. “We held the fight in us. Oh my God what a game.”
