The Colorado Rockies are investigating after the Miami Marlins’ Lewis Brinson was the target of a fan at Coors Field Sunday who repeatedly shouted the n-word at him in the ninth inning.

The Rockies said they were “disgusted” and are investigating, saying, “[We] have zero tolerance for any form of racism or discrimination, and any fan using derogatory language of any kind will be ejected and banned from Coors Field.”
