The key ingredient in a successful Rockies season: competence away from the thin air of Coors Field.
Two road series into the 2022 campaign, and the early returns appear promising.
Charlie Blackmon rapped four hits, Randal Grichuk had three, including his first home run in purple, and Chad Kuhl delivered his second straight quality start as Colorado beat the Tigers 6-2 on a gusty Sunday at Comerica Park.
The win improved the Rockies to 4-1 on the road this season and 10-5 overall.
For a little perspective, the Rockies didn’t get their fourth road win until May 30 last season, and they didn’t notch their first road series win until July 9-11 at San Diego.
