In this original BSN Denver series, we take a look at some of the best Rockies’ photography of the last week as well as the top shot in the game of baseball.
Nolan Arenado responds to a cold shower prompted by his walk-off winner on Wednesday, snapping a five-game losing streak against the Diamondbacks. The two-run blast was Arenado’s third career walk-off home run and eighth career walk-off RBI, third-most in franchise history behind Todd Helton and Dante Bichette, who both did so nine times.Garrett Hampson is drenched thanks to his first career walk-off winner, a bases loaded single that secured a sweep of the Marlins and extended the Rockies winning streak to four games. It capped a rollercoaster day that saw Colorado battled back from deficits of 1-0, 3-2 and 6-4 for a back-and-forth extra-inning affair.Symbolizing the never-die attitude of recent vintage, Ryan McMahon displays the antennae proudly for the rest of Las Cucarachas as heads home on the first of two home runs Saturday night. The 24-year-old homered in three consecutive games for the first time in his career and recorded a long ball in four of his last five games this game, including the third multi-homer game of the season.Scott Oberg secures the save Friday night in a 3-0 shutout of the Marlins. Though unknown at the time, it may well be the last photograph of Oberg active in a Rockies uniform until 2020. The 29-year-old was placed on the injured list with a blood clot in his right arm, the second such instance of axillary artery thrombosis in the last three years. Oberg underwent a procedure Saturday night to dissolve the clotting and has since been released from the hospital in good health.In one of the better pickles of the season, DBacks speedster Jarrod Dyson – who hit a leadoff homer in Arizona’s 9-3 victory Tuesday night – gets tied up between first and second, ultimately getting tagged out by center fielder Hampson in a less than typical 3-4-3-1-8 inning-ending double play.Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Chris Archer talks to players from the Mid-Atlantic Region team in the second inning of the 2019 Little League Classic at BB&T Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field in Williamsport, PA. Held on the first weekend of the Little League World Series, the third edition of this game saw the Cubs defeat the Pirates 7-1 in front of a small crowd consistently mainly of kids from all eight regions and eight international countries.
