The Twins enjoyed a stroll in the ballpark Sunday, waltzing to a 7-1 victory over the walk-happy Rockies. Colorado pitchers issued four leadoff walks — three by starter German Marquez — and Minnesota hit four home runs, denying Colorado a rare three-game sweep at Coors Field.

He went seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and just one walk. He allowed just two hits after the second inning, induced two crucial double plays, and threw 78 pitches. It was the fourth time a Rockies starter has gone seven innings this season and the first since Germán Márquez on May 22.

Ultimately, the Rox rode a 77-67 record in the strike-shortened ’95 season to a Wild Card berth. Alas, they drew the Maddux-Glavine-Smoltz eventual World-champion Atlanta Braves in the ALDS and were bounced 3-1.
