DENVER – When the pitching rotation for this series showed Antonio Senzatela for Sunday’s start, it seemed divine intervention for the young man who had lost his mother to cancer in 2016 less than a year before he’d reach the majors. Senzatela gave up a double to Machado in the first before shutting down the extra-base hits for the remainder…...
The Colorado Rockies had every chance to beat the San Diego Padres on Saturday night despite a slower night from the bats but the key moments went to the visitors in a 3-2 loss at Coors Field. The offense couldn’t get anything going against Padres’ starter Joey Lucchesi and didn’t end up with enough chances against the bullpen to complete…...
DENVER – For the second straight game, the Colorado Rockies offense put up 12 runs against a divisional opponent in an impressive display of execution up and down the lineup. This time, though, the pitching also held up their end of the bargain, leaving out th dramatics found in the series finale against the Giants. Starter German Marquez was good…...

It’s…...
The Colorado Rockies made a few roster changes ahead of their first series of the 2019 season against the San Diego Padres. Many of them may end up being temporary, especially as the team looks to return to full health in the coming weeks. But Antonio Senzatela may be here to stay. Reactivated from the Injured List just a few…...
It’s been a sluggish road trip for the Colorado Rockies but in the final game, they found themselves with a 7-3 victory over the San Diego Padres, earning a four-game series split.

DENVER – The Colorado Rockies returned to Coors Field with a dud on Tuesday night but bounced back with a thorough 6-2 victory over the San Diego Padres in the second game of the set. Ian Desmond had the big night offensively, scoring and driving in a pair of runs. Starter Jon Gray was phenomenal again and looked for a…...
The Colorado Rockies were on the verge of making all kinds of dubious history. Not only have the San Diego Padres never had a no-hitter, or perfect game, in their team’s history, starting pitcher Jordan Lyles has struggled for most of his career—much of that with the Rockies—and had never won a game at Petco Park. They managed to avoid…...
It’s becoming comical at this point. There is no way around it—so far, the 2018 Colorado Rockies are a better baseball team away from their home ballpark. Getting three key home runs from players fans might not expect (or maybe even have wanted in the lineup in the first place) and six runs on10 hits, the offense did its part behind…...
DENVER - The Colorado Rockies have not yet played well at home in 2018, and it was up to a Denver native, starting pitcher Kyle Freeland, to do something about that on Tuesday night. Another cold and rainy one didn't seem to bother the kid who grew up in these conditions, pitching the best game of his season and completely...

DENVER – The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. And the second rule of Fight Club is: if you throw a weapon at my head, you better be ready to stand and throw hands. The Colorado Rockies, from manager Bud Black on down, have made it abundantly clear that they are not proud…...

DENVER – Coming into Wednesday afternoon’s contest between the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres at Coors Field, there were two main concerns for the home team; a general lack of fire (urgency) and an offense that seemed entirely dependant upon the home run ball in order to score runs. But in a 6-4 victory that salvaged a game in…...
The Colorado Rockies are dead...yet. Nolan Arenado, Ian Desmond, and Trevor Story each hit solo home runs to help the Rox cling to lead in the Wild Card.
Charlie Blackmon has made history. And so have the Colorado Rockies. 10 years to the day they started the famous “Rocktober” run of 2007, Colorado put up their biggest shutout win since a 13-0 victory over the Miami Marlins a decade ago. Blackmon had been sitting on 88 RBI for five games and even got the night off on Friday…...
