DENVER – Daniel Murphy hasn’t had the beginning to his Colorado Rockies career that he wanted. Playing just a few games before breaking his finger and missing nearly a month, he was one of the few members of the lineup who came into Thursday afternoon’s game without at least decent hitting numbers. But he got the Rockies on the board…...
DENVER – For the first time in almost a week, the Colorado Rockies won a baseball game without the need for walk-off dramatics. It was a cold and stormy affair at Coors Field on Tuesday night, but the box score suggests that the Rockies played exactly the kind of game they need to in order not only to win ballgames…...
DENVER – Trevor Story entered the game with 99 career home runs and history on the horizon. In consecutive at bats, he’d have his record then add one more for a walk-off winner that brought the 32,397 in attendance to their collective feet. Friday’s starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman, recalled from AAA before the game, was asked to help bolster a…
The Colorado Rockies played their second straight all-around complete game in a 9-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night. Starter Jon Gray pitched remarkably well especially considering the context of the game and how well this Pirates’ lineup had been hitting coming into the series. He mostly managed to scatter seven hits, walking only one, while striking out…...
The Colorado Rockies once again rallied against the Boston Red Sox, storming back from seemingly insurmountable odds to send the game into extra innings. This time, though, they were unable to cap the comeback with a win, falling victim to a walk-off in the 10th. The Red Sox got to Marquez in the first with a series of well-placed, if…...
It was a very strange night for the Colorado Rockies offense but one of the best wins for the team in 2019. Through nine innings, they struck out 21 times, a new single-game franchise record. They ended up punching 24 tickets overall in the game. They faced some of the highest quality pitching they’d seen all season but still were…...
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 – Poised to break out against Arizona ace Zack Greinke, it wouldn’t be until the eighth inning when the Rockies would do their most damage, scoring 5 runs against the DBacks bullpen – including a Raimel Tapia bases loaded triple – to pull ahead 8-7. Trevor Story would lead the charge in the bottom of the eighth with a…...
It’s almost never this simple, but on Saturday night at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies lost the baseball game almost entirely because of an off-night from starting pitcher Kyle Freeland. The offense didn’t exactly storm back to make it interesting, the way they did behind Tyler Anderson in the first game of the series, but a 7-0 lead after the…...
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…...
It looked for a moment like the Colorado Rockies were going to keep riding their scorching hot offense right to a sweep of the Atlanta Braves despite another rough outing for Tyler Anderson on Sunday. But it was the Braves who would have the last laugh in a back-and-forth affair, a big three-run homer for Josh Donaldson proving to be…...
The Colorado Rockies are now winners of three consecutive series’ after running away from the Washington Nationals on Wednesday afternoon. The offense produced nine runs on 12 hits and kept the pressure on all day up and down the lineup. The Nationals mounted a small rally late but the Rockies held on for a still-decisive 9-5 victory. German Marquez was…...
The second game in this series against the Washington Nationals looked like an uphill battle on paper for the Colorado Rockies and that’s what it turned out to be. Jeff Hoffman was forced to make his season debut, despite some rough Triple-A numbers and a tendency to give up big innings, because of an injury to Kyle Freeland. In addition…...
The Colorado Rockies had been riding a wave of incredible starting pitching that at times was able to pick up a poorly performing offense but on Monday night’s series opener against the Washington Nationals, the offense picked up the pitching behind a brilliant performance from Nolan Arenado for a 7-5 win. They have now won seven of their last eight…...
The Colorado Rockies came out on Sunday afternoon looking for a statement win after dropping a highly winnable contest in the third game of the series. And they pretty well handled the Philadelphia Phillies who came into the four-game set as one of the hottest teams in baseball. They dominated the offseason darlings who sport essentially an All-Star lineup in…...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies were looking to steal a win on Saturday evening at Coors Field. Sending Antonio Senzatela to the mound to counter 2018 Cy Young candidate Aaron Nola, this was going to be a tough game on paper for the home team to notch their sixth-straight win. Senzatela was good but not as good as his season…...
The Colorado Rockies have, at least for the moment, rediscovered themselves. Getting their third straight phenomenal starting pitching performance, this time by Jon Gray, they got the offense they needed from their star and a couple of young players looking more and more comfortable getting regular playing time to cruise to a 8-2 win over the San Diego Padres. It’s…...
With one swing of the bat, Nolan Arenado reminded the Colorado Rockies what success looks like. With a pair aboard in another tight game in the fifth, he jumped all over a fastball and crushed it into the left field bleachers for a three-run jack. And you could feel the entire squad exhale. It was his first home run of…...
The Colorado Rockies extended their losing streak to seven games but it took the San Francisco Giants 18 innings to put them away in a marathon gut-punch loss. Of course, the game ended on a tormenting play when Chris Iannetta should have been able to make a force out at home (and maybe even a double play to send it…...
