After Arizona started Colorado’s season with a historic 16-1 trouncing at Chase Field, the Rockies paid the snakes back with a comeback victory on Monday at Coors Field.
The Rockies beat the defending National League champions, 7-5, in a series opener where Kyle Freeland took a step forward following his first two horrendous starts and the bullpen was mostly solid.
Colorado’s decisive frame came in a three-run sixth, when the red-hot Ryan McMahon — atoning for a costly error earlier in the night — had an infield single to give Colorado the lead it wouldn’t look back from.
