Fresh off a sweep of the Padres at home, the Rockies reverted to their disappointing road form in Tuesday’s series opener at LoanDepot Park.
Miami defeated the Rockies, 9-8, as Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper atoned for a costly error by delivering the game-winning RBI in the eighth inning. Colorado had an early lead, blew it, then tied the game before Cooper handed the visitors the loss.
The Rockies’ bats kept them in the game, but their 13 hits were ultimately for naught thanks to suspect pitching and, once again, suspect defense with a season-high four errors.
