Watch the moment the Rockies found out they'd clinched a postseason spot

By Adrian Garro

Before first pitch of Saturday's Dodgers-Rockies game at Coors Field, something special happened for the home team ... but it didn't involve anything on the field of play.
Thanks to the Cardinals coming from behind to beat the Brewers, 7-6, the Rockies officially clinched a postseason spot as the second NL Wild Card team. Fans at Coors for the evening's game were able to watch the final few outs of that game on the Jumbotron, while back in the Rockies clubhouse they became the latest team to clinch while watching television: 

This same situation became reality for the Twins (as they clinched the second AL Wild Card spot) just a few days before, and the Nationals when they clinched the NL East on Sept. 10.
