If you had paid more attention to the Denver Nuggets' 112-110 overtime victory in their first game of the NBA playoffs, you’d be forgiven for missing the Colorado Rockies' 12-11 loss to the Washington Nationals.
Chase Dollander struggled on the mound as the Nationals had a home run derby against him. He departed with a deep deficit while his offense was struggling against MacKenzie Gore. However, once the Nationals went to the bullpen, the Rockies' offense made things interesting but ultimately fell short, handing them their 16th loss of the season.
