After losing seven in a row, the Colorado Rockies are finally back in the win column after a hard-fought victory in Arizona over the Diamondbacks.

Player of the Game: Ryan Castellani He was once again excellent, especially considering…

It was not a great night for Colorado’s ace, but a second-straight loss to Texas was down to the offense struggling with runners in scoring position and the bullpen struggling to put up zeroes.

Sunday’s matchup between Texas and Colorado featured two starting pitchers looking to rebound from a forgettable 2019 season and recapture their relevance of Cy Young Award considerations in 2018.
