WORLD SERIES
The Red Sox have played just one series at Coors Field, June 15-
17, 2004, losing two of three to the Rockies.
June 15, 2004: Rockies 6, Red Sox 3
With the score tied, 3-3, in the third inning, right fielder Gabe
Kapler's throwing error to second base on Jeromy Burnitz's single
allowed Vinny Castilla to score the decisive run. Colorado added a
pair of insurance runs in the eighth when Todd Helton, who came in
batting .429 for the month, turned around a 93-mile-per-hour
fastball from Sox reliever Alan Embree for a two-run homer. The
result snapped an eight-game losing streak for the Rockies, who were
playing before the largest Coors crowd (40,489) since Opening Day.
