Colorado Rockies closer Greg Holland put a scare into the purple-wearing faithful for the first time in last night’s 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Coming into the contest, he had yet to allow a run in 2017 and was riding a streak of seven consecutive, relatively drama free, saves. But he gave up a pair of runs to the Dodgers and a deep drive from Yasiel Puig had Rockies fans thinking back to the horrible feeling so often felt at the end of games in 2016. ‘Twas not Puig’s night, however, as the ball fell just short and Holland made it eight straight.
