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. Kyle Freeland was not his typical self but somehow managed a more than respectable final line. He began with a lack of command and struggled to miss bats…...
The San Diego Padres have been a thorn in the side of the Colorado Rockies all season and were so again in the first of four on Thursday night. German Marquez was phenomenal, pitching eighth innings, giving up two hard-luck runs on a grand total of two hits, and achieving a career high of 13 strikeouts. He walked just one…...
It is more than a little bit ironic that the Colorado Rockies have made a habit of winning, but also losing, close games. They’ve blown their fair share of saves, including an ugly one in the first of a two-game set against the Los Angeles Angels. So, naturally, they brought in their other signature move; bouncing back from devastating losses…...
The Colorado Rockies had, and blew, multiple opportunities to beat the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, taking the lead early and late only to see it slip out of their hands for a 10-7 loss. Starter Jon Gray pitched a game somewhere in between the frustrating first-half version of himself and the borderline dominant one we have seen since a…...
DENVER – The crowd rose to their feet whether they were wearing purple or red to pay respect to Matt Holliday, a pillar of both the Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals. But the man they call “Bid Daddy” wasn’t stepping into the box thinking about a past that is more than worthy of celebration. He stepped in ready to…...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies put themselves in position for another dramatic late comeback, this time in the opener against the St. Louis Cardinals, but they couldn’t get the big hit early or late, resulting in a 7-5 loss. The Rockies rallied and had a shot at another dramatic late win, but it was not to be this time. Everything…...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies came into their three-game set against the San Diego Padres riding high with some of their best wins of the season coming during a 30-16 stretch against teams with winning records. There was concern that facing a team far below that mark might result in a letdown and while that almost happened, they were saved…...
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…...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies couldn’t get the big hit late or keep the San Diego Padres off the board early, losing a lackluster contest 4-3 in their first game back at Coors Field in a week. Starter Tyler Anderson was not sharp early but recovered to salvage a decent outing, though he arguably threw too many pitches in the…...
On Sunday, the Colorado Rockies wrapped up a stretch of 46 consecutive games played against teams with winning records. That hasn’t happened since the 1926 Philadelphia Phillies found themselves in the same kind of schedule gauntlet. Understandably, those ’26 Phils only managed a record of 15-32 over that span. With a gutsy 4-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves, capping off…...
Down to their final out—their final strike—after a brilliant performance from Mike Foltynewicz, the Colorado Rockies looked primed to drop the third game of this four-game set against the Atlanta Braves in sputtering fashion. They had not scored a run and had only mounted one rally, but it turned out that they still had a few in them. Huge hits…...
The Colorado Rockies were due for an offensive explosion and they got one in their second game against the Braves in Atlanta. Getting three-hit nights from four different players and five RBI out of Ian Desmond, the club cruised to its most comfortable victory since the All-Star Break, pummeling the NL East leaders by a score of 11-5. Starter Kyle…...
Much has rightfully been made of the Atlanta Braves prodigious rookies in Ronald Acuna and Ozzie Albies whose storming onto the scene has led directly to their surprising leap into contention. But the Colorado Rockies have a pair of young players who have had far more tumultuous rides to and at the MLB level who have been coming into their…...
The Colorado Rockies entered this two-game series against the defending World Champion Houston Astros having played 38 straight games against teams with a record of .500 or better. In their 39th such game, a sterling performance from their starter and a power display from their stars improved their record to 26-13 over that span, thanks to a 5-1 win. Nolan…...
DENVER – Colorado Rockies starter Chad Bettis may well have been pitching to stay in the rotation down the stretch. After his brutal outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates in his first game back off the Disabled List, questions were starting to rise about whether or not Colorado had time to let him get right, or if he might better be…...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies had every opportunity to win the opener of their four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, getting a fantastic outing from Tyler Anderson and some key timely hits, including a big blast from Chris Iannetta. But the bullpen absolutely imploded in the late going, surrendering seven runs on five home runs in the final three…...
DENVER – It was a strange afternoon for Rockies starter German Marquez who surrendered seven hits and three runs in the first three innings. He was getting hit hard and often but also still piling up the swings and misses. He pitched only the 86th immaculate inning in MLB history, striking out three batters on nine pitches in the fourth.…...
DENVER – On paper, the pitching matchup on Coors Field for Tuesday night was nothing short of inspirational. Chad Bettis facing off against Jameson Taillon in a battle of testicular cancer survivors had emotions running high before even a single pitch was thrown. No matter how you look at it, this faceoff was a testament to the enduring nature of…...
DENVER – When the Colorado Rockies drafted the hometown kid in the first round of the 2014 Draft, nights like these are what they had in mind and what fans began to dream about. Kyle Freeland has become the response to the notion that pitching with consistent quality in Colorado, at Coors Field, is impossible. He tossed another beauty on Monday night…...
Absolutely nothing has come easy for the Colorado Rockies since embarking on this road trip to the NL Central. Having been walked off on three times in five games, they looked primed to suffer the fate again. Blowing yet another save, the club was bailed out by the King of Clutch, Nolan Arenado, who launched his 29th home run of…...
