The Milwaukee Brewers survived walking seven batters and hitting two to post an 8-4 win at Coors field this afternoon. The Rockies contributed to their demise with four errors, resulting in two unearned runs. Of the Rockies nine free base runners, exactly one crossed home plate. The game went over four hours. It was worth it.
The Rockies scored first, in the first, when Charlie Blackmon dumped a Texas Leaguer into shallow left for a lead-off single. Chase battled his command throughout, and walked DJ LeMahieu. A deep flyball from Nolan Arenado moved both runners up, and Anderson plunked Gerardo Parra to load the bases.
