Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon's dream season continued Tuesday night.
In Chicago, in a 3-3 game, in the bottom of the 10th inning, with one out and the Cubs' winning run on second base, Blackmon made one of the best catches of the year:
Literally a game-saving catch.
Even the Cubs were impressed:
@Rockies Ok, we'll give you that one. That was one heckuva catch.

It was all for not, however, as hours later the Rockies would 4-3 lose in 16 innings. It was the longest game in Rockies, Cubs, and Wrigley Field history, at six hours and 27 minutes.
