With two on and one out in the fourth inning of Wednesday’s 8-0 loss to the Angels, Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond struck out looking on an 0-2 slider from Angels starter Jaime Barria. The K was met with a smattering of boos from the crowd.
Desmond came up again with two on and two out in the sixth, and again struck out, chasing a 3-2 slider in the dirt from reliever Justin Anderson, his third strikeout of the game. Rockies fans booed more lustily this time.
In his last at bat leading off the ninth, Desmond got his golden sombrero as he was caught looking at a fastball from reliever Akeel Morris, and the boos from the 33,689 in attendance reached a crescendo.
