Colorado Rockies: Tom Murphy on Spring Training, Thursday’s win
In the Colorado Rockies 7-5 win over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, one of the players in the backup catcher mix, Tom Murphy, helped his chances of winning the spot with his performance.
Tom Murphy had an excellent day on Thursday for the Rockies as he went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a 3-run double in the Rockies 7-5 win over the Cubs in Mesa on Thursday.
He and Tony Wolters are the main two guys competing to be the backup catcher to Chris Iannetta on Opening Day and the scales could tip in Murphy’s favor.
