Wild Showdown Between Miami Marlins, Colorado Rockies Makes MLB History
For most of Tuesday night’s showdown between the Miami Marlins, it seemed as if the Colorado Rockies did all the damage they needed to in the top of the first.
Right fielder Charlie Blackmon opened the scoring with a two-out, two-RBI single to right. First baseman Elehuris Montero took things a step further when he blasted a 409-foot, three-run home run to center that put Colorado up 5-0.
For the next 16 half-innings, neither team plated a single run.
Then, in the bottom of the ninth, the Marlins’ offense came to life.
Miami opened the frame with a single and a hit-by-pitch, setting second baseman Luis Arraez up for an RBI double. Center fielder Dane Myers then drove in two more tuns on a single up the middle.
A bases-loaded hit-by-pitch cut the Rockies’ lead to one, and a sacrifice fly from third baseman Emmanuel Rivera tied the score at 5-5.
According to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs and the Elias Sports Bureau, Tuesday’s game between the Marlins and Rockies was the first game in MLB history with a five-run top of the first, a five-run bottom of the ninth and no runs in between.
From there, the Rockies retook the lead thanks to third baseman Ryan McMahon’s two-out RBI double in the top of the 10th.
Designated hitter Bryan De La Cruz responded with an RBI double of his own in the bottom of the 10th, however, setting the stage for Myers to walk it off with an RBI single through the right side. The Marlins had battled back from a mere 0.7% win probability midway through the ninth to an instantly iconic comeback victory.
As a battle between the National League’s two worst teams, it likely wasn’t drawing many eyeballs in real time. The Rockies now sit at 7-22, while the Marlins improve to 7-24.
Still, it was a historic night in Miami, giving baseball fans one of the most uniquely chaotic games they’ve ever seen.

Damage assessments are still ongoing for homes and businesses affected by the Aspen Acres Fire in southern Colorado, but over 200 homes have been confirmed destroyed so far. The United Way of Southern Colorado is working to raise relief funds for those affected and says it’s making progress towards its fundraising goal.
In an update on Wednesday afternoon, Pueblo County Sheriff David Lucero said they’ve assessed approximately 67% of the properties affected in the county. Authorities have confirmed the loss of 192 homes and four commercial structures so far and are working to contact property owners as quickly as possible.
Lucero urged everyone affected by the fire to use the survivor portal for more information on assistance.
Custer County Sheriff Rich Smith says they’ve lost approximately 83 homes so far, almost 2% of the county’s homes. The worst hit area is along the Highway 165 corridor, Smith added. He said that authorities don’t expect any new evacuation areas, but are not yet ready to release the existing evacuation orders.
Smith said a hotline is available during business hours for affected Custer County Residents to ask questions. He urged residents to contact them at (719) 467-0271 and advised they may need to leave a voicemail if the line is busy due to the high number of calls.
A flash flood watch is in effect for areas near the burn scar, which could affect nearby homes.
The President of the United Way of Southern Colorado, Shanna Farmer, said the organization is working to raise wildfire relief funds for those affected. Over the last few days, they have reached just over $417,000 of their $10 million goal.
“It has been incredible, the number of individuals and companies who have come out to support, to provide matches, and to provide innovative ways to raise those funds,” said Farmer. “And so, I encourage anyone who is willing to work with us on a corporate, business, or individual level to please reach out because it is going to take all of us to help rebuild.”
Farmer said that the community not only needs help with their immediate needs but also long-term support. She urged anyone interested in donating to visit their website.
The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office says anyone who has evacuated needs to contact the Disaster Assistance Center located at 29 Lehigh Ave. in Pueblo. The center is open between 9 a.m and 6 p.m. and provides multiple resources for those forced to evacuate.
Residents must also visit the center to obtain a re-entry pass, which will allow them to return home once evacuation orders have been lifted. A photo ID and proof of residency are required. Visitors can sign up online to reserve a place in line for faster service.

Julian Lewis Says Deion Sanders’ Colorado ‘Wasn’t Really Looking at Defenses Much’ Last Season
Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis made a stunning admission that could explain the team’s 3-9 finish to the 2025 season.
While speaking to ESPNU at Big 12 media days, Lewis was asked what the biggest difference was between last year and this year, and he revealed that the Deion Sanders-coached Buffaloes typically didn’t watch film during his first season with the team.
“My play, I’m actually looking at the defenses now,” Lewis said. “Last year, we wasn’t really looking at defenses much, just kind of high school free-balling, just out there playing football. But it’s a lot bigger than that now, so it should be fun.”
Before taking a redshirt year, Lewis played in four games as a true freshman with two starts and threw for 589 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions while completing 55.3 percent of his passes. He should fare even better this season with the benefit of film study.
Lewis will enter the 2026 campaign as Colorado’s starting quarterback, so he will have the opportunity to show his improvements when the Buffaloes open the year against Georgia Tech on Sept. 3.
