Rockies Losing Streak Continues

The Arizona Diamondbacks came into yesterday’s match up against our beloved Colorado Rockies as a team in the midst of a batting slump. Fortunately for the Diamondbacks, the pitchers for the Rockies continued their mediocre play, leading to a 6-3 Arizona victory. Jason Marquis gave up all 6 runs, including home runs from Mark Reynolds and Miguel Montero. The Rockies didn’t bat poorly, they had 8 hits including a homer from Ian Stewart, but runners were still on base far too often at the end of innings.

It has now been 4 games since a Rockies victory, but it is still early in the season. I am hoping that our pitchers are just shaking off the cobwebs from the offseason and getting prepared to pitch some stellar games. The Rockies face the Diamond backs again today, and hopefully they can maximize on all their scoring opportunities.
