DENVER – It just wasn’t their day. Or their series. The Colorado Rockies got pummeled by the Washington Nationals for their third straight game, showing just how much progress is still to be made. This was the first time in 2017 that the Rockies lack of health and experience really showed.
Nolan Arenado put the Rockies on top in the bottom of the first with a solo home run deep over the left field fence. It was Arenado’s seventh home run and 16th RBI of the season. Arenado is now 9-for-14 with two doubles, three home runs, nine RBI and three walks in the 1st inning this season.
