McCarthy charged in on a sinking line drive from Bryan Reynolds, catching the ball on a full sprint for the second out of the inning.
Pittsburgh’s Oneil Cruz — who started on second base — was near third when McCarthy made the catch, so the 28-year-old continued to jog toward the infield, stepping on second for the final out.
It was the first unassisted double play by a left fielder since Jonny Gomes on July 31, 2013, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
The Rockies won the game 10-4.
