The Red Sox dropped their 4th straight game with a disappointing 9-8, 12-inning loss the Colorado Rockies Monday night at Coors Field.

Ezequiel Tovar knocked in the winning run in the bottom of the 12th with a bases loaded single off of Chase Anderson.

The Rockies scored 2 runs in the 12th after the Red Sox took the lead in the top of the inning on a 2-out RBI single off the bat of Wilyer Abreu.   The Sox are 0-4 on their current road trip.

Red Sox came from behind twice in the game and didn't take their 1st lead of the game until the top of the 10th inning.  

Tanner Houck made the start and gave up 4 runs (4 ER) in the 3rd inning, but that was it.  Charlie Blackmon hit a 2-run Home Run to get the Rockies on the board and 5 straight hitters reached and 4 runs scored before Houck was able to record an out.

The Red Sox got all 4 runs back against Austin Gomber in the 5th inning.  Jamie Westbrook got the Red Sox to within a run with a 3-run Home Run.  Jarren Duran followed with a triple, his 11th on the year and first since June 9th against the White Sox, and he scored on an RBI single from Rob Refsnyder.  All four runs in the inning came with two outs against Gomber.  

Houck got a strike 'em out/throw 'em out double play to end the 5th inning.  He worked around a double and a walk in the 6th and left with the game tied at 4-4.  Houck gave up 10 hits total and 4 earned runs.  He walked 3 and struck out 2.  

Josh Winckowski was the first out of the bullpen and he gave up a run in the 7th to put the Rockies in front, 5-4.  Jacob Stallings broke the tie with a 2-out, RBI 2B to right.

Red Sox answered right back and tied the game up for a second time on the night with Connor Wong going the opposite way with his 9th Home Run of the season and that evened the game at 5-5.  Sox had runners at 1st and 2nd with one out, but Romy Gonzalez hit into an inning-ending double play.  

Cam Booser worked a 1-2-3 8th inning and kept the game even at 5-5.  Zack Kelly got the bottom of the 9th and like Booser, he retired the Rockies in order.  

Red Sox took their first lead of the game in the top of the 10th.  Jarren Duran started the inning at 2nd-base, and he scored on Dominic Smith's RBI Double.  Sox weren't done and added a 2nd run on a Sacrifice Fly from Rafael Devers.  

Kelly got the 10th inning and appeared to balk on purpose before throwing a pitch and that allowed the runner at second to move to 3rd. After getting the first out, Kelly gave up a game-tying 2-run Home Run to Sam Hilliard.

Red Sox stranded Tyler O'Neill at 3rd and failed to score in the top of the 11th.  

Greg Weissert stranded the potential winning run at 3rd in the bottom of the 11th.  Ceddanne Rafaela made a great diving play up the middle and got Brenton Doyle at 1st for the 2nd out in the inning.  After an intentional walk, Weissert came back and got Brendan Rogers on a ground out to Rafaela at short and that sent the game to the 12th.  

Alex Cora was ejected by home plate umpire Mark Wegner before the top of the 12th got underway.  It was his 2nd of the season.  

Sox got a little 2-out magic in the 12th and went in front, 8-7, on Abreu's go-ahead run-scoring single.     

Locked On Red Sox POSTCAST Notes-
