Down 2-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning, the odds were not in the Rockies’ favor Monday night at Coors Field.

With Boston closer Aroldis Chapman and his 0.83 ERA on the mound and the Red Sox 30-0 when leading after eight innings, Boston had an 87.8% chance of polishing off a victory, according to FanGraphs.

However, in one of the wildest comebacks in recent MLB history, the Rockies took full advantage of that 12.2%.

With the bases loaded and no outs, Jake McCarthy hit a three-run triple down the left-field line to give the Rockies a 3-2 win. McCarthy’s game-winning triple made him just the sixth player since divisional play began in 1969 to deliver a walk-off three-bagger while his team trailed by two runs, according to MLB.com. The last player to accomplish the feat was Grady Sizemore in 2006.

If you include the four hits the Rockies had in the eighth inning without scoring (two runners were thrown out on the base paths), according to Elias Sports Bureau, Colorado was the first team since at least the expansion era began in 1961 with hits in each of its final eight plate appearances of a game.

McCarthy’s triple made the final score what it was, but there were three singles by his teammates that loaded the bases and made magic at home on the final swing.

Here’s the anatomy of the ninth inning and how it all unfolded.

TJ Rumfield, the ninth inning’s leadoff hitter

Earlier in the day, Colorado general manager Josh Byrnes called Rumfield a “creative hitter,” and the first baseman lived up to those words in the ninth inning.

Falling behind 0-2 to Chapman, the left-handed-hitting Rumfield took a slider well outside the strike zone past the third baseman for a single to start the rally. It was a swing that would have made any slow-pitch softball player smile, except Chapman’s pitch was coming in at 85.3 mph.

“I’ve never thought of myself as that,” Rumfield said with a smile when he was asked about his “creative hitting” moniker. “When you get down 0-2, you know somehow, some way, you need to get on base. It’s just trying to get on base for your team, so that’s what creates the creativity.

“I think it’s just hitting the ball where it’s pitched. It’s not even thinking about what can happen or how it could happen. It’s just, ‘See ball, hit ball.’”

Hunter Goodman, batting second in the ninth

Stepping into the batter’s box in the ninth, Goodman was 0 for 12 on the homestand. However, that didn’t stop the power-hitting catcher from being aggressive against Chapman.

On the first pitch, a 97.3 mph fastball, Goodman ripped a single to left field, moving Rumfield to second and bringing the winning run to the plate.

“He’s got a really good fastball and I was just trying to get one close enough that I could put a good swing on it,” Goodman said. “In the eighth inning, we put together some good at-bats. We were hitting the ball hard. I felt like it was just a matter of time before we started to get some runs and break through.”

Cole Carrigg, batting third in the ninth

Playing in just his 13th MLB game, Carrigg was in, perhaps, the most pressure-filled situation of his young career. However, he looked anything like a rookie in following through with a signal from the dugout as the crowd of 26,910 buzzed.

After swinging and missing on the first fastball from Chapman, Carrigg laid down a textbook bunt that was fielded by Boston third baseman Caleb Durbin. Using speed that is in the 95th percentile among all MLB players, Carrigg beat Durbin’s throw to first, loading the bases with no outs.

“I wanted to give Cole a shot, and against a left-handed pitcher, we have three left-handers on deck. It was an iffy decision for me to bunt, because of that, but their corners took a couple steps back, so I thought this is a good time to create some chaos,” said Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer, who called for the bunt. “Cole’s a really good bunter. He’s a good overall player, and bunting for me in that situation late in the game, it’s not about just moving two runners up. It’s about creating chaos and potentially having a ball be thrown away.

“I mean, it’s tough to execute a bunt play late in the game defensively, so you put pressure on the team and see what happens. Last night it turned into a bunt hit, which was awesome. … It’s hard to bunt a 100-miles-an-hour pitch, and that’s all you’re getting late in the game these days. It worked out. I’m absolutely glad it worked out.”

Jake McCarthy, batting fourth in the ninth

McCarthy, riding a 10-game hitting streak, fouled off the first pitch from Chapman, a 99 mph sinker. The next pitch, a 99.6 mph sinker that settled into the middle of the strike zone, was sent into the left field corner for the game-winner.

“I was just looking for a good pitch to hit and kind of took that fastball out of the glove. Luckily it stayed fair,” McCarthy said. “I didn’t know if it was going to be a single or double. I didn’t know how many runs we were going to score but then I saw it rattle around. That was pretty crazy.”

The celebration

“Oh my goodness, I was so excited,” Rumfield said once he saw McCarthy’s hit was fair. “I was jumping up and down. I think I was waving the runners in myself.

“It was fun to see that from my perspective at third base, to see the ball skipping down the line. I knew we were going to get two, but were we going to get three? With Carrigg’s speed, we got three.”

After the game, soaked in Powerade from the celebratory dumping on the field, McCarthy was still trying to process what had just happened.

“That was surreal,” McCarthy said. “It still really hasn’t sunk in, off a great pitcher like that. It all happened pretty fast.

“Those were really poised at-bats getting a job done. If they roll over and die, I don’t even get a chance, so a lot of credit goes to the rest of the team.”
