On a cold Wednesday night at Coors Field, the Rockies uncorked a five-run inning and capitalized on a quality start from southpaw Austin Gomber in a 5-2 defeat of the Nationals.
Colorado bounced back in Game 2 against Washington after getting blown out in the series opener with ace German Marquez on the mound. Gomber allowed two runs on seven hits in six-plus innings, while Tyler Kinley held the lead and Daniel Bard earned his seventh save of the season.
“We want to get everybody (in the rotation) going well, and I think German’s next,” manager Bud Black said.
