Page "Colorado Rockies" Paragraph 39

On April 17, 2008, Colorado beat the San Diego Padres, 2 – 1, in a 22-inning road game that spanned 6 hours and 16 minutes.

It was the longest game in Rockies history, in terms of both total innings and total length of time.

659 total pitches were thrown in the game by 15 different pitchers ( eight Rockies pitchers and seven Padres pitchers ).

The 22-inning affair was the longest since August 31, 1993, when the Minnesota Twins, at home, defeated the Cleveland Indians, 5 – 4, in 22 innings.
