Happy Wednesday, everyone. The Tigers were meant to start their series in Denver on Tuesday, but rain had other opinions about that, so the first game of the series was tonight, with a doubleheader planned for Thursday. The altitude at Coors Field is always a changemaker, and that was clearly true for Jackson Jobe tonight, who got the start for the Tigers against Chase Dollander for the Rockies.
In the first, the Tigers went 1-2-3 to start the game. In the home half, Jordan Beck hit a one-out single, then Ryan McMahon homered to center to give the Rockies an early lead.
