But that's where the offensive production slowed to a standstill. Amid their 8-4 loss to Houston at Coors Field, the Rockies left nine men on base and finished 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position. McHugh, meanwhile, didn't yield another hit in those situations.
"It's hard," Gonzalez said. "That's why we get paid. That's why we're here. We're here to drive in runs and take advantage of those situations, and when it doesn't happen, it's frustrating."
Between the second and fourth innings, the Rockies had seven opportunities with runners in scoring positions.
They produced zero runs.
