Last week was certainly a weird one as the Colorado Rockies kicked off the month of June.
It started with the Rockies—fresh off of back-to-back wins and a series win against the San Francisco Giants—getting absolutely shellacked in the series finale.
It got odder as the week progressed.
The series opener with the Los Angeles Angels could easily be described as “wacky” in a battle of bad baseball. The Rockies committed four errors in a win where the Angels pitching staff walked ten batters, plunked two,
but still tallied 11 strikeouts. The next day, Rockies Rookie of the Month TJ Rumfield hit a home run that bounced off the head of outfielder Jo Adell and over the wall. However, the home run was later changed to a four-base error later in the week.
After once again securing a series win against a California team, the Rockies coughed up more than ten runs in a loss during the series finale.
The Rockies then returned to Coors Field on Friday to start their current series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Heading into the ninth inning the game had been a tightly contested 3-1 pitcher’s duel where the Rockies had the lead and the Brewers had just one hit. Then closer Antonio Senzatela spiked a double play ball and somehow the game ended with a 9-7 Rockies loss in ten innings.
With Tanner Gordon shelved with a hip injury, Zach Agnos was called upon to make his second major league start on Saturday. The game ended as a blowout, though Agnos gave up just two earned runs in his three innings of work. The game was unfortunately highlighted by Tyler Freeman taking a 98.2 MPH cutter to the head and leaving the game. While Freeman is expected to be fine, he will likely land on the 7-day concussion list. Could this mean someone like Zac Veen might get called up?
We’ll find out later today as the Rockies wrap up their series against the Brewers on Dinger bobblehead day.
