Friday marked the beginning of a 20 games in 20 days stretch for the Colorado Rockies.
Quite literally containing a third of the season, it’s the kind of stretch that can make or break the Rockies season.
It didn’t get off to a great start.
Facing the Texas Rangers and one of the hottest pitchers in the league in ace Lance Lynn (3-0), the Rockies bats went quiet. Even after receiving help from the Texas defense, the Colorado offense stuttered, unable to provide support for rookie starter Ryan Castellani in the 3-2 loss.
