Welcome back, Ronin! It's good to see Torey go with a traditional lineup for the second game in a row.

Now, if he'll just get off his "hit the ball in the air" kick, they might be able to start scoring more than
one run per game.

Although I wasn't going to turn the game on, there's nothing else to watch on TV, so I'll give it a shot.

Pretend we're in Coor's Field, guys! :cool:

Kelly scratched from the start with a right shoulder pain. Clarke will start instead.

The roof is opening for the start of the game. We might just see some offense.

And Grace is back in the booth, covering for BB, who has a migraine. It must be
the 1-run games. :)

Trevor Story with a 1-out solo HR in the top of the 1st.

Followed by a single. Followed by an inning ending DP.

Blackmon, the Rockies .400 hitter, was also scratched from the game.

Runners on 2B and 3B for the Rockies with no one out.

The runner, going into 3B, attacked the wrist of Escobar with his slide.

An intentional walk and the bases are loaded in the 3rd. Steve said
that Torey has never shown that strategy in the past.

Sac fly short of the wall in RF and it's 2-0 Rockies.

Walker with a 1-out solo HR in the 4th. Tie game. All or nothing for both teams.

Taylor Clarke reached his pitch count in 4 innings.

Taylor Widener will come in to pitch the 5th.

The blues gave the Rockies a run. Wolters should have been out at third

Walker and Ketel hesitate on a ball hit between them and the Rockies score a run to take a 3-2 lead.

I never complain about the umps but they’re butchering this game. That ball was right at Calhoun regardless of his intentions.

D-bacls lose 3-2. No scoring for either team since the 5th inning.

Nope, it is not Coor's Field.

The Rockies end their 7-game losing streak. The D-backs are up to 6.

Tomorrow's and Wednesday's games vs. the Rockies are also at 6:30.
