Trailing Cincinnati 5-0 after two innings, the Rockies game back to tie the game 5-5 in the eighth on Tulowitzki’s leadoff home run. Giambi walked and Chris Nelson went in to run, getting to third on a throwing error.
And then, with one out, Nelson stole home.
Rockies 6 Reds 5. Sweep.
Nelson spent most of the season with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. It was his first Major League stolen base.
