Colorado Rockies: Is it time to worry about Bryan Shaw?

Down 6-3 in the sixth inning, Shaw replaced struggling starter Jon Gray and inherited a runner on third with no outs. He walked Tommy La Stella on five pitches before allowing two singles, a double, and advancing two runners on a wild pitch.

But Kyle Schwarber issued the deathblow by smashing a three-run homer to center field on the first pitch he saw. Shaw was promptly pulled for Scott Oberg with the Rockies down 12-3, having shattered any hope of a Rockies rally.

Shaw struggled again on Sunday, going a third of an inning and allowing two hits before Mike Dunn bailed him out.
