The Rockies would get off to a quick start scoring a single run in both the 1st and 2nd inning. The first run came off the bat of Nolan Arenado, which should be expected considering how hot he has been. Unfortunately, the second run came from an RBI single off the bat of the pitcher, Tyler Anderson.

The Rockies would continue their tear by adding 3 more runs in the bottom of the 8th. They’re pretty good at hitting at Coors Field, I guess.
