KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The dog days of summer might be waning, but the Rockies’ road offense remains all bark and no bite.
The Rockies managed just two hits in a 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. That’s correct, two hits, and the sliding Rockies fell for the 10th time in their last 14 games.
Nolan Arenado’s two-out, two-run homer in the sixth inning off starter Danny Duffy ended a no-hit bid and produced Colorado’s only runs.
The Rockies made a bid to rally in the ninth inning, when Jonathan Lucroy looped a two-out triple down the right-field line that Melky Cabera dived for and missed.
