Sometimes, the Rockies' offense produces, but it's negated by the pitching. But Wednesday was one of several instances when the Rockies received solid starting pitching, as Chris Rusin held the Angels to two runs -- on massive Mike Trout home runs in the first and sixth -- in six solid innings. But the Rockies went 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position.
Of course, rough offensive nights happen. But when teams are struggling like the Rockies, who had dropped nine of their last 11, the despair can be colorful.
