The Rockies are playing more competitively, but they still only have one road win and have dropped to 4-18 on the season.
On the bright side, they have lost four of their last five games by just one run each and six of the seven by fewer than three runs. Tuesday’s game went to 11 innings before the Royals edged Colorado, but the Rockies, led by Germán Márquez, will be back in action looking for their second road win today in Kansas City.
Brenton Doyle returns to the lineup after being on the berevment list. Zac Veen was optioned to Triple-A to make space on the roster.
