NEW YORK — Third baseman Nolan Arenado, his gray road jersey covered with infield dirt, threw his glove in frustration. The moment summed up the current state of the Rockies.
The snapshot came in the second inning of Saturday’s game at steamy Yankee Stadium where the heat index reached 106 degrees and the Yankees hammered the Rockies 11-5, sending them to their sixth consecutive defeat and 13th loss in 15 games.
After New York’s Didi Gregorious led off with a double, Arenado dove for Gleyber Torres’ hot shot through the left side, but couldn’t come up with the ball.
