While we can’t read everything into the first exhibition game of the condensed 2020 campaign, there were plenty of positives for the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.
Daniel Murphy made history by hitting the first home run inside Globe Life Field, and Nolan Arenado and David Dahl added long balls as the Colorado Rockies built up a 5-0 lead on the strengths of those homers on the way to a 5-1 victory over the Texas Rangers in Arlington.
