Weekly updates, quotes, news, and notes from the Hartford Yard Goats, the Double-A Eastern League affiliate of the Colorado Rockies from June 15 to June 22.
After spending the last month treading water in the Eastern League standings, Hartford took a dive in the divisional race. One win in eight games last week leaves the Rockies' Double-A affiliate 10.5 games behind the Reading Fightin' Phils, who swept the Yard Goats last week.
As the first half of the season comes to a close out in Modesto, the Yard Goats received yet another California League All-Star pitcher.
