Rockies News
Tanner Gordon might finally be establishing himself as a reliable presence for the Rockies after his impressive seven-inning performance in last night's 3-1 victory over the Nationals, helping to end a dismal seven-game losing streak. Pair that with Hunter Goodman launching a home run in his return from the injured list, and you might think the Rockies are finally turning a corner. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, the team’s 51-81 record and a run differential of -25 in the last week still paint a grim picture. While last night’s win was a necessary lift, the Rockies need more consistency,especially from a pitching staff that has struggled with a 6.7 runs allowed per game over the last week. With the Nationals in town again today, fans are hoping for another showing that proves they can be more than just a cold-weather team.
