The Rockies don’t stand much of a chance this season and they can’t hold a candle to the defending world champs, but they’ve got a dangerous bat or three and can make pitchers pay for mistakes. Good thing Shu014dta Imanaga made very few of them in his MLB debut on a day in which he didn’t need much help from weather conditions that would have otherwise dampened Colorado’s bats.
A day after fellow lefty Jordan Wicks got 19 swings and misses on 85 pitches, Imanage got 20 whiffs on 92 pitches.
