One down, 161 to go. The Rockies relied on their bats and their bullpen to lead them to a 7-5 victory at Milwaukee on Opening Day. Here are three takeaways from Monday’s win over the Brewers.
Player of the game: Mark Reynolds held down the fort at first base with $70 million man Ian Desmond on the disabled list. Reynolds went 2 for 3 at the plate with three RBIs, including a two-run home run.
What a relief: The Rockies used five pitchers out of the bullpen who were nearly untouchable, allowing one hit while walking four batters in five innings.
