Pittsburgh, PA — The Colorado Rockies lost a remarkably strange baseball game to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday, 6-3. One might have predicted that a matchup between Jordan Lyles and Ryan Vogelsong might end in such a score, but that was about the only predictable thing that happened in this contest.
Before the game even began, it was strange. A make-up of the game postponed the night before, it began everything over again, resetting what was once a Rockies 1-0 advantage back to square one. Manager Walt Weiss had to change flights just to meet the team in Pittsburgh instead of Boston, and the game began in the morning in front of an estimated crowd of 67 people.
