Pitching the seventh and eighth innings, Peter Lambert gave up a solo home run to Bubba Thompson on an 0-1 pitch as part of the 4-4 tie between the Rangers and Colorado Rockies. There’s the bad. The good, however, made sure that the game didn’t slip away from the Rockies.
Following the homer in the seventh, the soon-to-be-22-year-old Lambert opened the eighth by surrendering a single and two walks to load the bases. Facing a bases-loaded situation with no outs and a visit to the mound, however, Lambert settled in and displayed some of the tools that makes him one of Colorado’s most talked about prospects this spring.
