Manager Bud Black coined a term for what often lacks from the Rockies’ sputtering road offense.
He calls it “the big blow.” Translation: Timely hitting that grows run production in bunches.
The Rockies, predictably, failed to land those haymakers on Wednesday night in a 6-4 loss at the Arizona Diamondbacks. Red-hot catcher Elias Diaz once again homered, but Colorado finished the game 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position
The Rockies (37-50) are still without answers for their unprecedented road woes (6-33). Arizona, the worst team in baseball, is one win away from sweeping their three-game series.
