Kris Bryant made his long-awaited comeback and the sunset at Coors Field was spectacular, but Chad Kuhl stole the show.
The right-hander threw a three-hit shutout in the Rockies’ 4-0 win over the Dodgers Monday night. Kuhl struck out five and didn’t walk a single batter.
When Freddie Freeman lined out to center fielder Yonathan Daza to end the game, Kuhl pumped his fist, much like an Avalanche player after they won the Stanley Cup Sunday night.
Kuhl became the first Rockies pitcher to throw a shutout since German Marquez took a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Pirates on June 29 of last season at Coors Field.
