McMahon continues push to make 25-man roster
McMahon's two-run homer SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Ryan McMahon figured that if a mid-Spring Training signing placed him squarely on the Rockies' roster bubble, and if all eyes would be on him to prove he can hit established Major League pitching, he might as well have fun with it.
For example, McMahon's average stayed near the .400 mark during the first half of Cactus League play, but the true test would be how he would do against top pitchers. The thought of a hit up the middle against Indians' two-time Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber, and another off the Brewers' Zach Davies (plus a double off established reliever Ernesto Frieri in the same game) brought a smile to his face.
