The Rockies lost the first game of the doubleheader, dropping their 12th straight game on the road as the offense stalled and the starting pitching couldn’t find solid footing.
Welcome Back, Brenton Doyle
The Rockies have missed the presence of Brenton Doyle in the lineup. At the top of the order, he’s been a key figure as one of the only bats working for the offense and he didn’t miss a beat in his first start since going down with a quad injury and spending time on the bereavement list.
In his first at-bat, he drew a lead-off walk, eventually coming around to score to give the Rockies an early 1-0 lead.
