The Rockies dropped the opening game of a crucial three game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-2. The Rockies allowed ten walks and left runners on base in every inning save the third and the fifth, but this game will be remembered as an ump show that cost the Rockies in crucial situations.
Rockies pitchers allowed nine walks on the night, plus a hit batter in the ninth inning. While some of this can be pinned on a, shall we say, mysterious strike zone from home plate umpire Andy Fletcher. On a night when Jon Gray was matched up with future Hall-of-Famer Clayton Kershaw, five walks and 85 pitches meant his night was over after four innings.
