The Colorado Rockies managed to spoil Anibal Sanchez’s debut start for the Atlanta Braves, 3-2. Actually, Arodys Vizcaino’s lackluster showing in the tenth inning did most of the spoiling.
Tonight’s loss snapped a three-game win streak for the Braves and dropped their record to 5-3. The Rockies’ victory pulled their record back over the .500 mark (5-4).
It was a story of missed opportunities for the Braves. Not only did the offense ground into three double plays to stunt momentum during the early innings, but the control issues out of the bullpen squandered a late-inning surge by the bottom part of the order.
