Rockies 8, Tigers 5: Detroit can’t catch up in Colorado

The Detroit Tigers played from behind all night on Friday, eventually falling, 8-5, against the Colorado Rockies to open a three-game series on the road.

Michael Lorenzen cruised through the first, but the Rockies put up a five-spot against him in the second. C.J. Cron, Nolan Jones, Ezequiel Tovar and Harold Castro all singled consecutively to get the rally started. To rub a little salt in the wound, two of those players (Castro and Cron) played in Detroit within the last three years.

Brenton Doyle bunted safely to reload the bases, and Jurickson Profar singled in Castro and Tovar, making it 4-0.
