The grand puzzle of the Rockies’ dreadful road performance this season is giving manager Bud Black a metaphorical headache.
“We bang our heads against a wall trying to figure this out,” Black said. “We really do.”
On Tuesday night, playing in the first-of-three games in Arizona, the Rockies suffered another self-inflicted migraine. Starting pitcher Jon Gray gave up four straight doubles in the first to trail 3-0 with no outs. Colorado’s comeback ultimately fell short. Closer Daniel Bard loaded the bases in the ninth and pegged David Peralta — scoring a walk-off run in a 4-3 defeat.
