The Atlanta Braves took on the Colorado Rockies in a four-game series this week starting on Monday and concluding today. After today, the Rockies sit at 67-54 and hold an NL Wildcard spot…a spot the Braves dreamed about a few weeks ago.
Atlanta came into Thursday’s afternoon game needing a victory to split the series two games a piece. The Rockies won game one and game three, but the Braves very well could have won that first game on Monday. Remember? It was the game no one wanted to score a run at Coors Field.
The Braves sent Lucas Sims to the mound on Thursday and starting for the Rockies was Jeff Hoffman.
