D-Backs 7, Rockies 5: Memorable Contributions on Memorial Day
Ryne Nelson definitely could have been better in today’s series opener.After a frustrating and disappointing series against the Red Sox over the weekend, you would be forgiven for giving up early on this series opener. But, like many good things in life, patience was rewarded as the D-Backs managed to overcome an early deficit and hold off a surprisingly feisty Rockies team to take the series opener. Even better, now that we have hit the unofficial start of watching the standings, per the Memorial Day Weekend adage, the D-Backs gained a half game on the idle Dodgers.
