It was a perfect night for baseball in LoDo.
Nice sunset, a gentle breeze that cooled temperatures to the upper-70s by the sixth inning, and a lively Star Wars night crowd of 45,085 at Coors Field.
The only thing missing was quality baseball from the home team.
The Rockies were pounded, 11-3, by Oakland, owners of the worst record in the majors. The Rockies, owners of the worst record in the National League, have lost four straight, including an 8-5 loss to the A’s on Friday night.
“(Denver’s) a great sports town, I’ve said it countless times,” manager Bud Black said when asked about another huge turnout at Coors, despite the team’s 40-64 record.
