What’s wrong with the Rockies? Well, for starters, it’s their starters.
So it was Friday night in the desert when the Diamondbacks tagged veteran left-hander Austin Gomber for six runs on five hits over six innings as they cruised to a 6-1 win at Chase Field.
The killer blows off Gomber were a three-run double by Blaze Alexander in the first, a leadoff homer by Alexander in the fourth, and a two-run homer by Corbin Carroll in the fifth.
Rockies starters have an 8.09 ERA in their 19 games since the All-Star break. Friday night, Gomber saved the bullpen by going six innings, but he’s 0-8 with a 6.
