In the first game of the doubleheader, the Rockies were shut out through seven innings by Marcus Stroman and Edwin Díaz. Germán Márquez pitched well but got the old “Jacob DeGrom treatment” and received no run support whatsoever. In the end, it was a José Peraza solo home run in the third inning that was the difference.
Offense gets shut out, still has not traveled
It wasn’t incredible when the Rockies scored three runs on five hits against the Mets on Monday but it felt like progress compared to their past offensive performances on the road. Tuesday’s three-hit game against Jacob DeGrom and company was more like the road Rockies we know and that unfortunately continued against Marcus Stroman.
