Kyle Farmer's RBI single in the 11th inning lifted the Colorado Rockies to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday that also snapped the visiting club's five-game losing streak.
Colorado trailed 2-0 after six innings but plated one run in each of the last four frames to notch its 13th comeback victory of the season. The Rockies were down to their last out in the ninth when Orlando Arcia homered to left-center field off Brewers closer Trevor Megill.
Farmer, who entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh, went 2-for-3 and got the game-winning single off Grant Anderson (1-3). Thairo Estrada went 3-for-5 with an RBI single in the 10th inning.
Victor Vodnik's wild pitch allowed Joey Ortiz, the Brewers automatic runner, to score from third and tie the game 3-3 in the 10th. However, Vodnik (3-2) settled down, and with Sal Frelick on third and one out, got William Contreras on a shallow flyout and struck out Brice Turang to extend the game.
Tyler Kinley struck out two in a perfect 11th inning to earn his third save of the season.
Frelick went 3-for-5 and gave the Brewers a 1-0 lead with a one-out home run in the sixth inning. One batter later, Christian Yelich extended his hitting streak to 12 games with another solo shot.
At that point, it looked like the Brewers would win their fifth straight, and the Rockies would suffer their sixth consecutive loss. However, Colorado's Ryan McMahon reached in the eighth on an error by shortstop Ortiz and advanced to second. He scored on Brenton Doyle's double, a rocket to center.
The late theatrics took away from a couple of sharp pitching performances by the day's starters. The Brewers' Chad Patrick struck out eight over five innings. The Rockies had a runner on third base three times against him, but the rookie right-hander, who scattered four hits and a pair of walks, prevented them from crossing the plate.
German Marquez held the Brewers to just one hit over the first five innings and had retired nine in a row before giving up the homers in the sixth. He struck out five in 5-2/3 innings while giving up three hits and three walks.
