In a season-opening rematch between the Rockies Jon Gray and the Marlins Sandy Alcantar, it would be a reversal of fortune for all involved, especially the Wolf of Blake Street.

The Colorado Rockies know their formula for success in 2019.

DENVER- The hot Colorado Rockies offense couldn’t find an answer for Miami Marlins starter Trevor Richards who dominated early and kept his team in the game long enough for the home bullpen to fall apart again.

DENVER – In one of their more complete all-around performances of the season, the Colorado Rockies cruised to an 11-3 win over the Miami Marlins thanks to an offense that remains as hot as the surface of the sun and the kind of pitching performance that Jon Gray should seek to emulate each and every time out.
