First pitch at Salt River Fields between the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers was delayed 20 minutes to rainy weather that eventually gave way to clear skies.
Austin Barnes drew a one-out walk in the first inning, then advanced to third base on Kyle Freeland’s errant pickoff throw. Barnes’ trip around the bases concluded with him scoring on a passed ball that also walked Scott Van Slyke.
Freeland got out of the inning by inducing Rob Segedin into a double play. Julio Urias’ 2017 Spring Training was brief. Charlie Blackmon led off the bottom of the first with a base hit and later scored on Nolan Arenado’s base hit to center field.
