Braves Blow 9-Run Lead, Swept By Rockies

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies overcame a nine-run deficit,

matching the biggest rally in team history and stunning the Atlanta

Braves 12-10 Thursday on Troy Tulowitzki’s go-ahead single in the

eighth inning.

Down 10-1 in the third inning, the Rockies chipped away against

the NL East leader before taking the lead with four runs in the

eighth.

Carlos Gonzalez hit a tying, two-run single with two outs, and

Tulowitzki and Todd Helton followed with RBI singles.

Colorado also came back from nine runs down to beat Florida

18-17 on July 4, 2008. The NL record for the biggest comeback is 11

runs, and the major league mark is 12.
