For one half inning, it was great.
Nolan Arenado hit a three-run homer, his first on the road this season (in the 42nd game), and the Rockies were winning 3-0 in Tuesday’s game against the Padres. It only lasted until the Rockies started pitching. Chi Chi González loaded the bases all on walks, setting the stage for José Mujica to make his Rockies debut and give up a grand slam to perennial Rockie-killer Wil Myers. By the end of the second inning, it was 10-3.
It went on for seven more innings, but it was already over after the first two.
