Normally, a home run off the New York Mets pitching wouldn’t elicit this kind of reaction at the mile high ballpark. Especially since they’re pretty commonplace in Colorado. However, what made Jason Vargas‘ reaction special was that it came after the third home run he’d given up that inning.
This made it three consecutive batters with home runs. 4 runs on 3 hits and 11 total pitches. Vargas would face two more Colorado Rockies before leaving the game, his 9th start of the year and his 9th time failing to make it past 5 innings in a start.
