Rockies' Wild Week: Errors, Odd Homers, and Bizarre Losses
7 Jun
Summary
- Rockies committed four errors in a win against the Angels.
- A home run was changed to a four-base error after hitting an outfielder.
- A pitcher's duel turned into a 9-7 loss after a ninth-inning collapse.
The Colorado Rockies navigated a turbulent start to June, characterized by a series of unusual and frustrating games. The team began the month by getting soundly defeated in a series finale against the San Francisco Giants, following a previous series win.
The subsequent series against the Los Angeles Angels featured a "wacky" game where the Rockies won despite committing four errors. In another strange turn, a home run by TJ Rumfield that struck outfielder Jo Adell was later changed to a four-base error.
Following another series win against a California team, the Rockies suffered a significant loss, allowing more than ten runs. Upon returning to Coors Field for a series against the Milwaukee Brewers, a close 3-1 pitcher's duel unraveled in the ninth inning, resulting in a 9-7 Rockies loss in ten innings.
Compounding the team's woes, pitcher Tanner Gordon is sidelined with a hip injury. Zach Agnos made his second major league start, giving up two earned runs in three innings. The game was also notable for Tyler Freeman being hit in the head by a pitch, likely leading to a concussion stint and potential call-up for Zac Veen.
