8-4-08: Two costly errors in the third

Willie Harris lays down a bunt with runners on first and second and no outs in the top of the third inning. Aaron Cook attempts to get the force at third, but sails the ball up the left field line, allowing Emilio Bonifacio and Tim Redding to score.





Jesus Flores grounds into what should be a 3-6-1 double play. Instead, Troy Tulowitzki sails the throw wide of Aaron Cook who is covering first. Willie Harris and Lastings Milledge score on the play and Jesus Flores advances to second on the second of two costly errors for the Rockies in the top of the third inning.






Middles of the 3rd inning: Nationals 5, Rockies 3 (ESPN, Denver Post, RMN).
