Sim Pirates 6, Sim Rockies 3: Sam Hilliard’s three-run homer not enough in first loss to Sim Pirates in 2020

What looked like a promising outing quickly spiraled into despair as the Sim Rockies lost to the Sim Pirates for the first time all season. Both teams scored early, but it turned out better for the Sim Pirates than the Sim Rockies.

Sam Hilliard showed his power once again, launching a three-run home run to dead center in the second inning. That gave the Sim Rockies an early 3-0 lead once Daniel Murphy and Ryan McMahon also came around to score. That was Hilliard’s only hit of the day. Murphy finished with two hits, and McMahon and Nolan Arenado also had one hit apiece.
