Coors Field lived up to its reputation as the Colorado Rockies erupted for 12 runs on Saturday, blowing past the Kansas City Royals 12-6 in a game that was never really in doubt after the middle innings.
The Rockies' lineup took full advantage of the thin Denver air, spraying line drives and capitalizing on the spacious outfield gaps. Kansas City kept it competitive for a while, but Colorado's offense proved too much, piling on runs inning after inning. The win is a bright spot in what has been a difficult season for the Rockies.
