Home cookin’ couldn’t comfort the Rockies.
A 2-0 loss to New York on Sunday afternoon — with the chant “Let’s Go Mets” reverberating throughout Coors Field — left the Rockies in a bad place after a 3-6 homestand in which they lost all three series.
Sunday’s game featured a terrific pitcher’s duel between New York right-hander Taijuan Walker and Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber. Walker won out, thanks, in part, to excellent defense behind him.
Walker dominated the Rockies, blanking them for seven innings and limiting them to five singles and two walks. He struck out six.
