In the first game of the Warren Schaeffer era, Chase Dollander dazzled like the ace he’s proclaimed to be.
But a new manager and the most promising outing yet from the rookie right-hander weren’t enough to flip the script for Colorado. With the offense mostly a no-show, the Rockies lost 2-1 to Texas to drop to 7-34 and continue their pace to becoming the worst MLB team ever.
Dollander held the Rangers hitless through 5 2/3 innings at Globe Life Field to start the Rockies’ six-game road trip. The one hit Dollander surrendered was a two-run homer to Wyatt Langford, but then he eventually struck out Adolis García to end the frame.
