Have you ever experienced one of those weather days where it starts off sunny, warm, and beautiful before ominous looking storm clouds gather in the afternoon? Well, that's kind of how this game unfolded for the Rockies, except the big storms threatening on the horizon never moved in and ruined the day.
Early on, the Rockies looked like they were headed towards a blowout win as they overwhelmed D'Backs starter Chase Anderson with a flawless display of pitch recognition and power. Following a one out first inning Corey Dickerson single, Troy Tulowitzki put together a 13 pitch walk that may have been his best trip to the plate so far this season.
