MILWAUKEE — One big hit, in one big moment was all the Rockies needed. It never arrived.
And so the frustrated, punchless Rockies lost 4-0 to the Brewers on Friday before 44,547 frenetic fans at Miller Park. Colorado was shut out for the first time in postseason history.
The Rockies return to Denver in a 2-0 sinkhole and one game from elimination in the best-of-five series. Game 3 of the NLDS is Sunday afternoon at Coors Field. Colorado’s first trip to the National League division series since 2009 could be a short one.
The bottom line Friday: The Brewers delivered in the clutch, the Rockies could not.
