There was rain (as usual), there were fireworks (both of the literal and metaphorical variety) and there were nineteen total runs scored, but there was no victory for the Rockies on Friday night. The bullpen, which had been standout for the last few games, imploded for seven earned runs, and the Rockies were unable to score enough times to come back against an equally terrible Giants pen.
One of the positive takeaways from tonight was that Kyle Kendrick continues to look more like the Kyle Kendrick the Rockies thought they were getting in the offseason. Despite not being particularly sharp, he worked into the seventh inning for the third consecutive game, giving up three runs before getting pulled and four earned runs in total.
