Ugly bullpen made the game feel even longer

The Rockies were able to draw some blood from reliever Ian Kennedy in the eighth inning. After Brian ServMLB la dodgers mlb jersey justin turner Shoes and Socks en was hit by a pitch, Ryan McMahon launched a two-run home run. Michael Toglia also had an RBI groundout.
