There’s an old axiom in baseball that says hitting is contagious. But with the 2025 Rockies, strikeouts and empty at-bats are infectious.
In their 7-1 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday night in front of a crowd of 18,657, the Rockies managed only five hits, struck out 14 times and were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.
Colorado’s early-season offensive slide is looking like an avalanche.
The Rockies’ two highlights were a solo homer by Brenton Doyle in the third off Milwaukee right-hander Freddy Peralta and a bunt single by Zac Veen in the sixth.
