There may be no cryin’ in baseball, but there were a whole lot of Ryans at Coors Field on Friday night.
The Ryans in the Colorado Rockies lineup had a good night, much to the delight of a large group of their namesakes taking part in a “Ryan meetup,” but it wasn’t enough to combat the Arizona Diamondbacks’ lineup in a 14-8 loss on a sweltering night in front of 31,851 in LoDo.
Ryan McMahon homered, while Ryan Ritter had two hits and scored twice. The four sections in the outfield seats next to the batters eye feted both of them and chanted their name throughout this contest, but the visitors were the ones celebrating at the end of the night after an offensive assault.
