After dropping two of three against the Arizona Diamondbacks—including two shutouts—the Colorado Rockies fled across the desert and the losing followed.
The Rockies held the Philadelphia Phillies to one run on eight hits through the first six innings of the series opener. Then everything unraveled. The Fightin’ Phils ended their night with nine runs on a whopping 17 hits as the affair went from close race to boat race
