Daniel Bard, who hadn’t pitched in a Major League Baseball game in over seven years, picked up his first win since May 29, 2012, in his return to action Saturday.
The right-hander, making his first appearance in 2,646 days, pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings in relief, helping the Colorado Rockies outlast the Texas Rangers, 3-2. He came on in the fifth with two runners on and two outs and kept the Rangers from scoring, then he escaped from another jam in the sixth.
