Sometimes, even against the worst team in baseball, you’ve got to rely on your big guns to get the job done.
That’s exactly what the Rockies did Friday against the Orioles at Coors Field, when freshly recalled right-hander Jeff Hoffman was hit around but ultimately bailed out by two homers apiece from Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story. Story’s second dinger was a two-run, walk-off shot to complete Colorado’s 8-6 comeback win.
Arenado got the Rockies going with a solo homer in the first, but the Orioles struck right back by plating three off Hoffman in the second.
