The Rockies lost to the Giants 4-2 on Wednesday night to drop the second game of the three game series. Madison Bumgarner struck out 11 Rockies in just six innings of work on a night when the offense, in general, didn’t show up. The Rockies’ record now stands at 41-38
Spot start ideal
Chi Chi González gave the Rockies about what you want from a spot start. He pitched five innings and gave up three runs. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either. The peripherals are less notable here — four strikeouts and four walks, in case you’re interested — because the Rockies really shouldn’t rely too much on Chi Chi.
