The Rockies’ road to ruin, and quite possibly the first 100-loss season in franchise history, continued Wednesday afternoon at Houston’s Minute Maid Park.
The Rockies rallied late but could not overcome another poor start by Chase Anderson, losing 6-4 to the Astros.
“The pitches that he’s making are coming back to bite him,” manager Bud Black told reporters. “His stuff has remained pretty consistent. There hasn’t been a drop off in velocity or movement.
“We talk about location all of the time and the ability to pitch to where the target is. And I think with Chase, it’s just a case of too many pitches over the plate that have come back to bite him.
