Patrick Saunders points out how Colorado has historically struggled on the road against the Dodgers (82-143). A perennial contender playing home games inside the largest venue in baseball brings about challenges for any visiting team.
Friday night was no different—aside from the 56,000 seats inside Dodger Stadium being empty, and a 2020 Rockies pitching staff that has thrown particularly well inside opposing ballparks.
“The Rockies entered Friday’s play with a 1.63 road ERA through 10 games, the lowest road ERA in the majors.” Colorado’s two games at Minute Maid Park on Monday and Tuesday featured a combined four runs scored by the Astros.
