 DENVER (AP) - The New York Yankees couldn't wait to get back to Coors Field after scoring a record 41 times on their first trip to the Colorado Rockies' ballpark five years ago. This time, they couldn't get out of town fast enough.
"I don't want to see them again, how's that?" manager Joe Torre said Thursday after the Rockies denied Roger Clemens his 350th win and completed a three-game sweep of the suddenly stumbling Yankees with a 4-3 victory.
The humidor has taken full effect and so has Colorado's retooled pitching staff since the Yankees' last visit to the ballpark on Blake Street, where they outscored the Rockies 41-29 in a three-game slugfest in 2002, setting a stadium record for runs scored by an opponent in a three-game series.
