The Colorado Rockies dropped the first game of the doubleheader to increase their losing streak to eight games and cement yet another series loss.
Early errors...ew
Trouble came early for the Rockies when, in the top of the second inning, back-to-back singles by Dylan Crews and Riley Adams put two on with one out for the Nationals. When both moved to steal a base, Braxton Fulford’s attempted pickoff throw to third sailed over Ryan McMahon’s head into left field, allowing the Nats to take 1-0 lead.
Washington kept the pressure on when they loaded the bases, but Freeland had seemingly worked his way out of the jam when he coaxed a weak ground ball off the bat of Nasim Nuñez.
