And after Antonio Senzatela (what's with that guy anyway?) did what he does (seven runs over just four frames), it looked like the same old same old for the Balboas.
But they punched back. Down 7-2, then 7-5 in the ninth inning, their ragtag lineup rallied.
No, really.
Orlando Arcia's two-run base hit was the knockout punch.
Final Rocks 8, Giants 7.
Colorado hasn't seen a comeback like that since John Elway. Rocky Mountain High! Down -268 clubberlangs.

(AP Photo/Erin Hooley) Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz and Seattle Mariners reliever Trent Thornton got sick Saturday while playing in the extreme heat that covered much of the United States. De La Cruz vomited on the field with two outs in the fourth inning of Cincinnati's extra-inning loss at the St. Louis Cardinals. He was checked on by a trainer, and two workers from the grounds crew cleaned up the area. Advertisement The 23-year-old De La Cruz, who is from the Dominican Republic, stayed in the game and hit a two-run homer in the seventh. Thornton pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings for Seattle before departing in the eighth in a 10-7 loss at the Chicago Cubs. The 31-year-old right-hander had to be helped from the field. Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Thornton had 'a little bit of a heat-related illness.' 'It was a scary moment, for sure,' Wilson said. 'He battled hard. But just really glad that he's feeling a little bit better now and should be OK.' The gametime temperature for Reds at Cardinals was 92 degrees, and it was 94 for the first pitch of the Mariners' loss to the Cubs. Milwaukee's game at Minnesota was played under an excessive heat warning. Advertisement Seattle and Chicago finished their game with three umpires after Chad Whitson got sick. Dexter Kelley moved from second base to home plate. Whitson was treated in the Mariners' dugout. 'He came in, same kind of thing. Just was not feeling well,' Wilson said. 'Threw up a few times in the dugout and then they came and took care of him from there. The heat was a real thing today, for sure.' Whitson was dealing with some dehydration, but a Major League Baseball spokesman said he was doing better Saturday night and had been cleared to work third base for the series finale. A Wrigley Field staffer had a heat-related medical issue right after Saturday's game, according to a spokesman for the Cubs. He was tended to by medical personnel and walked off the field on his own. Advertisement The Cubs set up cooling and misting stations throughout Wrigley to help fans with the heat on Saturday, along with additional emergency personnel. The team had similar plans in place for Sunday, along with bringing in a city bus to use as a cooling station on the street. ___ AP MLB:

Red-hot Ian Happ belts 2 of Chicago Cubs' 5 home runs in 10-7 win on a steamy, windy day at Wrigley Field
Ian Happ is a solid home run hitter, having belted more than 20 four times in his first eight seasons with the Chicago Cubs, including twice hitting 25. So, when the calendar turned to June and he had just three to his name in 2025, the switch-hitting left fielder was concerned. 'You're sitting there with three homers and it's definitely frustrating,' Happ, 30, said. 'You want to do more and help more. But I've done this long enough that it's going to show up at some point.' It has shown up in June. Big time. The veteran has gone deep eight times this month, including twice in the first two innings Saturday in a 10-7 win over the Seattle Mariners in front of 39,047 at Wrigley Field on a hot, humid and windy day that made every ball hit in the air an adventure. Kyle Tucker, Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong also homered for the Cubs (46-30), with Crow-Armstrong notching his team-high 21st of the season. Happ, who had four RBIs, passed Kris Bryant for 15th place on the Cubs' all-time home run list with 161. 'It's really cool,' Happ said. 'Being here and being available … being on a list with those guys who are all-time Cubs great is really cool.' Happ has homered in three straight games and led off the last two finding the seats — the first Cub to accomplish the feat since Anthony Rizzo on June 13-14, 2017, against the Mets in New York. Photos: Chicago Cubs beat Seattle Mariners 10-7 at Wrigley FieldAfter three pitches Saturday, Mariners starter Emerson Hancock already had given up Happ's leadoff homer into the left-field bleachers, followed by Tucker's into the right-field seats to set the tone. 'With the nature of the elements, it was good for us to jump out to a lead,' Happ said. 'You knew you were going to have to score some runs to win that game.' The Cubs were trying to keep the Mariners' Cal Raleigh in the park and nearly succeeded, but he hit a solo shot in the ninth off Daniel Palencia for his major-league-leading 30th of the season. The switch-hitting catcher does not have the star power of Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtani — yet — but that could be coming. He went deep twice in Friday's 9-4 win at Wrigley, breaking Johnny Bench's record for most home runs by a catcher before the All-Star break with 29. And the break is still three weeks away. Raleigh had a chance to do some huge damage in the sixth, but Cubs reliever Brad Keller struck him out with runners at first and third and one out. Keller (3-0) inherited the first-and-third situation and struck out the side. He also fanned Julio Rodriguez and Jorge Polanco. Manager Craig Counsell called Keller the MVP of the game for that sequence. 'He did a heck of a job — it was a great inning,' Counsell said. 'It was early to go to him, for sure, but at that spot and with the guys they had coming up, you're kind of going for it.' Keller said it was hot and steamy in the Cubs bullpen the whole game, but he picked up even more heat when he stepped onto the field. 'It was a heat blast, that's for sure,' Keller said. 'Running in, I didn't want to throw my warmup pitches because I wanted to conserve all of the energy that I can. But it was hot for everybody. I'm from Georgia and I've felt the heat before.' Early in the game, Crow-Armstrong was befuddled in center field by two wind-aided fly balls, and Happ was caught off guard by one as all three fell for hits. 'We made adjustments after the first couple of innings,' Happ said. 'They were a couple of tough ones that fell. You're trying to get behind the ball as much as you can, but everything in your brain is telling you from all of the fly balls you have had in the past … to recalibrate can be challenging.' The heat — it was 94 degrees and likely hotter on the field — got to plate umpire Chad Whiston, who left the game after five innings. There was no announcement about his condition. Dexter Kelly took over behind the plate in the sixth, and the game went on with three umpires. Mariners reliever Trent Thornton wobbled on the mound with one out in the eighth. He was helped off by training staff. And Sunday's series finale could even be hotter. Before the game, the Cubs recalled right-hander Nate Pearson from Triple-A Iowa and designated lefty Génesis Cabrera for assignment. Pearson was 3-1 with a 2.22 ERA in 19 appearances with Iowa, including a start. He opened the season with the Cubs and was 0-1 with 10.38 ERA in eight outings. 'Nate's been throwing the ball well,' Counsell said. 'He struggled a little when he was sent down to Triple A. We're working on getting him back to a good place and we feel like we've made some progress there.'

Red Sox Named Top Suitor for Impending $500M Free Agent
Red Sox Named Top Suitor for Impending $500M Free Agent originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox are in a peculiar situation. After trading Rafael Devers, the team is back above .500, and after an 8-2 stretch in their last 10 games, are only 4.5 games behind the NL East lead. Reinforcements are also on the way to stabilize the offense. Wilyer Abreu returned on Friday, and third baseman Alex Bregman's ankle rehab is moving at a steady pace. Advertisement However, it is hard to ignore the All-Star size gap left by Devers, but with his $250 million off the books, Boston is in a position to be a prime free-agent destination in a class headlined by outfielder Kyle Tucker. On Friday, MLB Network's Jon Heyman mentioned the Red Sox as one of three potential suitors for Tucker's services. Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (30)© Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images "Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned the Red Sox," Heyman said. "That is a possibility, certainly. This guy is going to be a free agent at this point. We thought maybe there would be some discussions, maybe they tried, and it didn't work. The [Chicago] Cubs are a big market team, and they are doing well. They need to give it a try." Advertisement "That said, he's a free agent, he's only been there a year, and there are going to be other teams. Never count out the San Francisco Giants at this point. They look like an aggressive team. The Red Sox have a lot of outfielders, but we have heard of (outfielder Jarren) Duran possibly on the market. They are a possibility as well because they really have to do something to make up for (Rafael) Devers." Tucker is setting himself up for a massive payday this offseason. Slashing .284/.395/.908 this season with 13 home runs and 43 RBIs, the three-time All Star is projected to sign a $500 million contract, according to Spotrac. Although he is another left-handed hitting outfielder, the Red Sox could move another piece to clear space to make a run at Tucker and insert the superstar in the middle of their lineup.
