In a game with promising young starters on the mound, the spotlight instead fell to the offenses, and the Rockies weren’t able to keep up with the Tigers in an extra-inning loss on Wednesday night.
In the battle of the No. 9 overall MLB Draft pick from 2023, 23-year-old RHP Chase Dollander, against the No. 3 overall MLB Draft, 22-year-old RHP Jackson Jobe, neither made it out of the fourth inning. The Rockies out-hit the Tigers 13-10, but couldn’t get the clutch hits when it mattered.
Missed Chances Late
Ryan McMahon, who went 4-for-4 with a walk, two RBIs and two runs scored, hit a one-out double off the left center field wall in the ninth inning and became the would-be winning run at second.
