After a rain-delayed Thursday night game, the Colorado Rockies relied on a bullpen day to face off against the ace of the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.
The Colorado Rockies relied on a mish-mash of bullpen arms — led by two pitchers who had never appeared for the team before this game — and outdueled one of the best pitchers in the National League, defeating the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Friday night at Coors Field in Denver.
The Rockies went with newcomer Gonzalez Germen for the start, a start that would be the righy’s first since he was a minor leaguer in 2012.
