Nolan Jones’ big night wasted as Rockies’ bullpen collapses vs. Blue Jays

Friday night’s feature attraction followed the same, tired old plot.

Rockies’ bullpen collapses late, Rockies lose again. This time, 13-9, to Toronto in front of 27,397 fans at Coors Field.

At least Friday night’s coming attraction was entertaining.

Rookie left fielder Nolan Jones launched a three-run, two-out home run in the sixth inning to give the Rockies a short-lived 5-4 lead.

Jones, acquired from Cleveland during the offseason, continues to show signs that he could be a future star. Jones, who’s made headlines with his throws from the outfield, has been dynamite in the clutch.
