Twi-lights: Solo shots light up the scoreboard

 

The Colorado Rockies won their first home contest of the year Sunday, defeating the San Diego Padres 6-3. Chad Bettis put together a solid outing, the club hit two back-to-back homer and Tony Wolters made in impact in his first MLB start.

That was huge. EXACTLY what Bettis needed to do. Could all be blown up by next inning, but couldn't have asked for a better first.

Nolan goes back-to-back. Second straight solo shot. Rockies up 2-0.

That, too, was a no-doubter. Both were thunderous off the bat.

Not sure if ROOT constantly using @Shapalicious' tweets says more about ROOT or @Shapalicious.

Parra’s purple and white glove is great.

Ugh, Trevor Story. What a has-been.

How Bettis got out of the third inning. Pitch 7 a called third strike against Upton. Well located and well received. pic.twitter.com/23REjPdhbm

The line out by @CarGoMedia5 was measured by @statcast at 107 mph. He entered today with 8 batted balls 100 mph+, third-most in @MLB.

Well we're through four innings and the Padres don't have double digit runs yet

Nolan Arenado's 471 foot home run is his career long and is the longest HR in MLB thus far this season pic.twitter.com/fZU9pFDMJa

Bettis pitching well today, and pitching exceptionally well by comparison.

— Chris Chrisman (@chrischrisman) April 10, 2016

What is this thing where a Rockies pitcher gets sharper as he goes instead of now fatigued and defeated? I like.

— Michelle Stalnaker (@rockieswoman1) April 10, 2016

Bettis also gave up two runs and looked reasonably good through 5 innings in his 1st start. Let's see how he holds up in the 6th this time.

Fan 1 I front of us: “Where’d they trade Tulo?”
Fan 2: “Montreal.”
Close enough.

Wolters-Bettis is the dangerous part of the lineup

Charlie Blackmon is a prolific base stealer. It only makes sense to keep him close. Can we, as a people, stop booing throws to 1st?

Great outing by Bettis today. Picked up the bullpen in a major way.

Lost amid the topography, a rooster cackles in the distance. Chad Bettis, three times through a lineup, Ks Rosales…

Last team to hit 5+ HR and score 6 or fewer runs: 7-9-2014. Rockies hit 5 HR at Coors & beat Padres 6-3. Familiar? https://t.co/xn4vIMxMvJ
