Tyler Anderson’s family was easy to spot in the green seats of Section 130 behind home plate at Coors Field — they were the clan having the most fun. And when Anderson walked to the Rockies dugout in the seventh inning to a standing ovation, they were the ones who shot up first and clapped the hardest and cried the most.
“I could hear my family if I was back in Vegas,” Anderson said. “They are loud and emotional.”
Anderson debuted on the mound in the toughest pitching park in America five years after the Rockies drafted him in the first round.
