Rockies News
The Colorado Rockies bounced back from Monday's gut-wrenching loss to the Chicago Cubs with a solid 5-2 victory, showcasing a balanced offensive attack led by rookie TJ Rumfield, who hit a two-run homer that aptly demonstrated his knack for consistency combined with timely power. This win, part of a week where the Rockies are scoring an impressive 7.0 runs per game, helps to ease some tension in the clubhouse as they sit at 27-46. Manager Warren Schaeffer’s strategy of playing small ball and passing the baton paid off, allowing the Rockies to not only find their rhythm but also deal a blow to the Cubs, who are feeling the pinch of losing closer Daniel Palencia to elbow inflammation. With momentum slightly shifting, can the Rockies keep their bats hot and challenge the Cubs again?
