Ladies and gentleman: Coors Field entertainment.
16 total runs were plated. Five home runs were tallied between the Rockies and Nationals. 11 total pitchers were used. 25 combined hits were recorded. Colorado found a way to outlast Washington, with the bats of Garrett Hampson and Brendan Rodgers sealing the Rockies’ fate.
Hampson and Rodgers posted their first home runs of the year in three-run fashion — and both combined to drive in seven of the Rockies’ nine runs on Thursday afternoon.
The Nationals outhit the Rockies 15-10, and despite allowing a lot of traffic on the base paths, Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela cooked up a 4 1/3-inning start that preserved an early Rockies lead.
