Saturday, the Purple faced the Pinstripes at Coors Field in the Colorado Rockies intrasquad game.
Third baseman Nolan Arenado ended the festivities with a walk-off home run of sorts.
Arenado belted his second home run of the game, this one off right-hander Jesus Tinoco, to center field to put the Purple up 4-3 in the top of the sixth inning. The game was called after Arenado's at-bat.
Left-hander Ryan Rolison got the start for the Pinstripe team and he threw two scoreless innings. Right-hander Jose Mujica gave up two runs in his innings for Team Purple.
