The Colorado Rockies have said this is a season when they will let the kids play, and on Sunday, they began to make good on that promise by calling up righty Tanner Gordon.
Clearly, a debut does not a career make, but it’s worth taking a moment to consider his first game, what we’ve learned, and what to expect going forward.
What was the final stat line?
Pretty, pretty good.
Gordon pitched 6 1⁄3 innings giving up five runs (all earned) on eight hits, including two home runs, four strikeouts, and zero walks.
