Reds 4, Rockies 3: Rookies shine, but missed opportunities spell Rox doom

Despite an excellent start on the hill and some highlights from two of their rookies, the Colorado Rockies (22-73) walked away with a 4-3 walk-off loss to the Cincinnati Reds (49-47) in the second game of the weekend series.

Blalock-ed In

If anyone needed a palate cleanser at the big league level, it was Bradley Blalock. Making his first start for the Rockies since the infamous May 10 game, Blalock looked like the pitcher the team saw in spring training.

Things got a little dicey early on when the Reds took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first.
