DENVER – The Colorado Rockies went swimming with the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday and came away floating. After mostly treading water from the fifth inning on, the club avoided a lethal sting late to win 7-4.
“We got some really good young talented players,” Manger Walt Weiss told. “And I guess it was on display a little bit tonight. Tyler gave us another real good start. Ran into a little trouble there in the seventh but the bullpen really stepped up tonight. Otto and Motte got some huge outs.”
Tyler Anderson pitched a Coors Field gem, Trevor Story hit the game-winning homer and Carlos Estevez added another save to his name.
