The Rockies were put in an unusual position when Chi Chi González was put on the COVID protocols list just a few hours before he was scheduled to make his start today. Bud Black and the coaching staff were forced to turn the game into a bullpen day. The bullpen had already lost a reliable arm in Mychal Givens to a trade so the sentiment going into today’s game was that this was going to be an uphill battle.
That did turn out to be the case as the Rockies relievers gave up ten hits and seven walks.
