DENVER – The last time the Milwaukee Brewers suited up for a game at Coors Field, they popped bottles in celebration of a three-game sweep after Game Three of the National League Division Series last October. Nearly twelve months later, looking to do the same with the fate of the NL Central hanging in the balance, the Rockies delivered a…...
The Colorado Rockies, after looking lost in the first two games in this series with the Milwaukee Brewers but bounced back in a huge way, earning the split by scoring 11 runs in the last two games.

The Colorado Rockies have finally defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in a baseball game. Getting a monkey off their back that has been there since the 2018 NLDS last October, Colorado was finally able to put up a sustained and at times explosive offensive effort, scoring 11 runs on 10 hits in the 11-4 win. A two home-run night for Nolan…...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies found themselves playing in the National League Division Series against the Milwaukee Brewers thanks largely to their pitching and defense but it turned out that could only take them so far.

MILWAUKEE – The story for the entire 2018 Colorado Rockies campaign has been the flipping of their script from a club that used to be known for offense and nothing else to one that has relied heavily on pitching and defense. But that hasn’t stopped the offensive woes of the team from proving problematic throughout the year, especially here in…...
MILWAUKEE – The first game of the NLDS was always going to be a strange match-up on paper. Colorado sent their least experienced starter, Antonio Senzatela, to the hill and Milwaukee countered by planning out a bullpen game from the start.

Absolutely nothing has come easy for the Colorado Rockies since embarking on this road trip to the NL Central.

This one was over almost as soon as it began. After the Colorado Rockies missed out on a chance to score after a walk and a HBP in the top of the first, the Milwaukee Brewers… did not.
