It certainly looked like a galaxy far, far away at first pitch this evening, as Denver’s beautiful blue skies were choked out with dark smoke, and the setting sun burned a fierce orange through the haze. The air quality was worse than on Nar Shaddaa for Star Wars Night at Coors Field, but the Colorado Rockies came to play. They showed the Miami Marlins that there’s always a bigger fish, earning a series win on a 7-4 victory.
Qui-Gomber Jinn
The force was with Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber, who pitched like a jedi master tonight in an excellent rebound from his last outing.
