As downtown Phoenix geared up for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, an opposing offense in purple was the source of the city’s afternoon attention. An attendance of 7,740 paid witness to a Rockies’ lineup that showed a more striking resemblance to their home success instead of their road struggles. Colorado has sealed their seventh road win of the season.
The Rockies posted four runs in the seventh inning, enough to overcome Arizona’s three runs on the entire afternoon. A combined four Rockies relievers tossed four innings of scoreless relief. The collective series in Arizona was not favorable, but the finale has built some essential momentum as the club ventures westward to close the first half in San Diego.
