DENVER — Brenton Doyle scored from second base on a wild pitch in the 11th inning by outfielder-turned-pitcher Jordan Luplow and the Colorado Rockies rallied for a 3-2 win over the playoff-bound Minnesota Twins on Sunday in the regular-season finale. With Doyle starting the inning on second, Luplow went from outfielder to emergency reliever and delivered a 63-mph slider to Brendan Rodgers that got through the pads of Ryan Jeffers. A hustling Doyle slid head first into home. The AL Central-champion Twins open the postseason against Toronto on Tuesday at Target Field. Sean Bouchard tied the game in the eighth with a two-out solo homer.
