DENVER -- The bullpen blew another game for the Colorado Rockies- an all too familiar trend in 2016.Leading in the eighth, Carlos Estevez surrendered a two-run homer. Tied in the 10th, Chris Rusin surrendered the game-winner to Andrew Susac as the Rockies fell 6-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers in the season finale Sunday.Just the way things have gone as the relievers finished 37 of 65 in save chances.In his pregame chat, manager Walt Weiss even acknowledged the bullpen needed to be revamped, saying, we have to iron things out.Whether Weiss is around to fix it remains unclear. His contract expires at the end of the season and the front office has yet to announce whether they will bring Weiss back.Thats never weighed on me, as a player, as a manager, Weiss said. Im always going to show up the same way, no matter what my contract situation is.The Rockies had a prolific offensive year with DJ LeMahieu winning a batting title and Nolan Arenado leading the league in RBI -- along with tying for the NL lead in homers. The starting pitching has been consistent, too, as German Marquez became the latest to turn in a solid outing by throwing six strong innings against Milwaukee.But then it all unraveled.Domingo Santana hit a two-run homer in the eighth to give the Brewers a 4-3 lead. It wouldnt last as Jordan Patterson tied it with a two-out single in the ninth that scored Arenado. Patterson also had a run-scoring double in the fifth -- his first two major league RBI.In the 10th, Orlando Arcia hustled for a two-out double. Susac followed with a liner to left off Chris Rusin (3-5). It was Susacs first homer since July 12 last year while with the Giants.Reliever Tyler Thornburg (8-5) won after blowing a lead for a second straight day. Corey Knebel pitched a perfect 10th for his second save, striking out Charlie Blackmon to end the season.LeMahieu sat out Sunday to protect his lead in the batting title race. It worked as LeMahieu edged Washingtons Daniel Murphy .3478 to .3465.Certainly one of the best story lines of this season, especially when you take into account the guy -- the type of guy DJ is and how hard hes worked to achieve that, Weiss said. Thats no small achievement, to win a batting title in this league.LeMahieu didnt really know what to think, mostly because it hadnt sunk in.Its a relief, LeMahieu said.There was plenty of intrigue with Chris Carter and Arenado dueling for the NL home run title. Both were kept in the park Sunday and finished tied with 41.It would be cool to win by myself. But at the same time, hes had a great year for himself. He earned it, said Arenado, who led the league in RBI with 133. Im just happy I had another good year. Its cool. Its a cool thing to be a part of.Blackmon led off with a homer -- the 10th time hes done that this year. He also had two doubles and a single.After the game, the players took a lap around the park to thank the fans, throwing all sorts of souvenirs to them.Its not about us. Its thanking them for coming out and supporting us through good times and bad times, Arenado said. Its great to see them out there. We want to bring them a championship and get to the playoffs for them.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: SS Trevor Story (torn ligament in left thumb) said hes about a month away from being full go. He was limited to 97 games, but led rookies with 27 homers.OLYMPIC SPIRITOlympians Emma Coburn and Jenny Simpson threw out the first pitch Sunday -- while wearing their bronze medals from the Rio de Janeiro Games. Simpson (1,500 meters) and Coburn (steeplechase) crossed things up by throwing to opposite catchers.TRENDING UPMilwaukee (73-89) won five more games than a season ago and Colorado (75-87) turned in its best record since 2010.UP NEXT:The Brewers host the Rockies in a four-game series to open the 2017 season.Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era.

Lukas Sedlak got his first NHL goal for the Blue Jackets, who have earned at least a point in 12 of their last 13 games.Sergei Bobrovsky had 32 saves for Columbus.I didnt think we were all that good, but Bob had another great game. You are going to need games like that and hes been giving them to us, Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. There hasnt been enough to our game lately. We need more grit and more checking.Cam Atkinson contributed a short-handed goal in the first period for Columbus, which is three points behind the first-place New York Rangers in the Metropolitan Division. Dylan Larkins power-play goal in the second was the only scoring of the night for the Red Wings.Sam Gagner scored into an empty net with 13.9 seconds remaining.Detroit goalie Petr Mrazek was pulled in favor of Jimmy Howard after Sedlaks goal made it 3-1 in the second.Mrazek was miffed after the goal that put the Blue Jackets up 2-1. He came well out of his crease to cover up a rebound, but there was no whistle, and he ended up playing the puck around the boards. A Columbus player was waiting and shot it back toward the net, and Dubinsky scored easily on a rebound.When that puck goes out that far, you cant cover the puck. Theres a little bit of grey area in the rule, but because its not in his sphere and it bounces further away, then at that point youre trying to play it and not covering an immediate rebound, Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. They were telling him to play iit, he played it, and it ended up in our net.ddddddddddddhere were also a few players tangling in the corner during that play, away from the action.The goalies got to move the puck there or hes going to get a penalty, Tortorella said. I have no idea what was happening in the corner ... but we got a good shot, a good tip and a rebound.Later in the second, Sedlak, playing his 23rd game of his first NHL season, backhanded in a rebound to chase Mrazek.That was a great feeling, he said. Ive had so many chances that I didnt finish that I didnt really believe it at first.Atkinson opened the scoring in the first, beating Mrazek with a wrist shot 22 seconds into Detroits power play. Anthony Mantha of the Red Wings hit the post later in the period when he broke in on Bobrovsky from the left.Detroit tied it in the second when Larkin scored from the left circle on a rebound.The Red Wings outshot Columbus 33-25, the first time in 10 games the Blue Jackets had been outshot.I thought from a process standpoint, we did tons of things really good, Blashill said. It was unfortunate the way that the final result was, but if we play like that over a long period of time, were going to get lots of results over and over again.Game notesColumbus added F Oliver Bjorkstrand to the roster on emergency recall from Cleveland of the AHL. ...
