DENVER — Once upon a time, long before 50,724 at Coors Field waved their white towels and celebrated an improbable trip to the National League Championship Series, the Rockies lost games like Saturday night’s. Now they almost never lose.
The Rockies used three soft, two-out, eighth-inning hits — the last an RBI single by pinch-hitter Jeff Baker — for a 2-1 victory over the Phillies that completed a three-game sweep of the NL Division Series.
It was the Rockies’ 17th victory in 18 games, the first home playoff triumph in their 15-year history — the only other postseason trip was 1995 — and their first series victory.
It was their first home win when scoring two or fewer runs since July 9, 2005, 1-0 over the Padres.
