Rockies' Daniel Bard hits 99 mph, picks up win in return to MLB after a seven-year absence


In the fifth inning of the Rockies' eventual win over the Rangers, reliever took the mound for Colorado. That's notable because in doing so Bard appeared in a major league game for the first time since April 27, 2013 -- i.e., more than seven years ago, or to be exact 2,646 days ago. Against all expectations, Bard has clawed his way back to the highest level. (CBS Sports)
