The Colorado Rockies will look to split their opening series... again. After starting the season with an MLB-best 2-0 record, they have gone just 1-6 since then with their 1-0 Home Opener win on Thursday. Austin Gomber suffered his second loss of the season, allowing five runs on seven hits with a walk and five strikeouts through 4 2⁄3 innings. He also surrendered a career-high tying five extra-base hits for the third time in his career. Despite that and the score, there were some highlights:
- Charlie Blackmon knocked his 1600th career hit in the bottom of the third inning with a single, trailing only Todd Helton on the Rox all-time hit list.
