Initially, it looked like a blowout: A five-run Houston Astros third inning that saw the Colorado Rockies going to the bullpen early. However, the Rockies are nothing if not persistent, and they made a game of it.
Ultimately, they lost, 6-5, but there were some positive moments.
“The guys never quit,” said interim manager Warren Schaeffer after the game. “They keep doing that.”
The offense persisted — a lot
The Rockies got off to a quick start with Hunter Goodman taking a Colton Gordon first-pitch four-seamer 441 feet, giving the Rockies a 1-0 lead.
