Gordon and Blalock’s wins mean a lot more than 2 Ws

It’s no surprise that during a historically bad season in which the Colorado Rockies have netted a 26-76 record that their starting rotation has had its share of struggles. When team wins are in short supply, of course, wins for starting pitchers will be, too.

Of Colorado’s 26 wins, only 14 have been credited to a starting pitcher (53.8%). For perspective, the Milwaukee Brewers’ Freddy Peralta leads MLB with 12 wins. Granted, wins don’t mean everything since the offense’s production, the defense's capabilities, and the bullpen’s effectiveness are all out of the starter’s control.
