Hits, runs, homers and hyperbole can’t adequately describe what happened at Coors Field on Wednesday night.
So maybe this factoid can do the trick: Arizona second baseman Daniel Descalso came in to pitch in the fourth inning, the earliest any true position player has pitched in a big-league game since Milwaukee’s Sal Bando on Aug. 29, 1979, when the Royals beat the Brewers 18-8 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
Wednesday night, when all was said and done and the baseball history books had been deciphered, the Rockies had bludgeoned the Diamondbacks 19-2. Colorado scored 19 runs for the first time since Sept.
