The education of Rockies rookie pitcher Chase Dollander: “Struggles now will pay off down the line”

Chase Dollander sat in solitude in the Rockies dugout Wednesday night, lost in thought, staring out at the diamond.

Out of sync from the beginning of his start, the rookie right-hander squandered a lead, giving up six runs on five hits and three walks. He was pulled with no outs in the fourth inning after walking two and hitting a batter.

To add insult to his lousy evening, the Rockies lost 8-6 to the Tigers in 10 innings, tumbling to 6-29 in a season that’s on track to be the worst in franchise history.
