Clint Hurdle managed the Colorado Rockies in 2005 when they lost 95 games and finished in last place. They won the National League pennant two years later and were swept by the Red Sox in the World Series.

The Rockies had multiple heroes and they needed every one of them in their 3-2 win over the Reds on Friday night at Great American Ball Park.

Santiago Espinal led off the ninth inning with a double to left field. After a TJ Friedl was retired and Matt McLain struck out, the Rockies intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz for the third time of the night, and Austin Hays struck out to end the game.

For the first time in De La Cruz's career, he was intentionally walked three times in a single game. He became the third player in Reds history to take three automatic passes in one game since intentional walks became a stat in 1955, joining Tucker Barnhart and Eric Davis on the shortlist, according to the Reds.

Colorado right-hander Germán Márquez struck out a season-high eight and Hunter Goodman scored on a two-out wild pitch in the eighth inning to lift the Rockies to a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.
