The coldest start ever for a Rockies road game, Colorado’s Chad Bettis fought through intermittent snow and 34-degree temperatures to move to 3-0 on the season and lower his ERA to 1.44 with yet another solid performance.
Here are three numbers you need to know from the game:
4 – As in, through four starts, Bettis has the third-lowest ERA of any Rockies starter in franchise history. The 28-year-old right-hander scattered five hits over seven innings and didn’t allow an extra-base hit until Jordy Mercer led off the eighth inning with a double to give the Pirates their only real scoring threat of the night.
