With their 6-5 win over the Nationals in Sunday’s game, the Rockies rise to 9-8 on the season. However, their nine wins have come from other pitchers besides the top two, Jon Gray and Tyler Anderson. Anderson gave up six walks in Sunday’s game, and we could tell from the look on Bud Black’s face that he was not okay with this kind of performance. The Rockies will need more from these two starting pitchers if they expect to have the kind of season we all hope 2018 will be.
In their division, the Rockies are up against some of the league’s toughest pitchers, and they need to be able to keep up.
