LOS ANGELES — In the sixth inning of Tuesday night’s game against the Dodgers, Rockies shortstop Trevor Story led off with a walk, setting off a chain of events the led to a precious run for a team in an offensive funk.
Story swiped second base, advanced to third on a passed ball charged to Los Angeles catcher Yasmani Grandal and scored on Ian Desmond’s single through the right side. The manufactured run gave the Rockies a brief 3-2 lead. Colorado eventually lost the game 5-3, but it was further evidence that Colorado is a team intent on running when the opportunity presents itself.
