Colorado Rockies Fade In Phoenix Thanks To Bad Defense, No Offense

The Colorado Rockies returned to the National League this weekend, beginning a four game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night in Phoenix.

The Colorado Rockies never showed up on offense, getting just five hits on the night — including an RBI single from starting pitcher Chris Rusin for their only run of the game — and two Nolan Arenado errors led to three unearned runs, as the Arizona Diamondbacks ran away with the first game of the four-game series on Thursday, winning 8-1 in Phoenix.
