The first pitch Peter Lambert threw Friday night was a 90.6 mph meatball over the heart of the plate. White Sox shortstop Elvis Andrus smacked his lips, took a big swing and sent the ball 439 feet to center for a leadoff homer.
It looked like it might be one of those games for Lambet. Except that it wasn’t.
Cushioned cushioned by a prolific night from the Rockies’ offense, as well as stellar backing from his defense, Lambert was superb in the Rockies 14-1 victory at Coors Field.
Colorado’s 13-run victory margin was its largest since Sept.
