Coors Field has a reputation for being the best hitter’s park in the game, making it the perfect pick-me-up for the dormant Royals offense. The bats woke up, taking advantage of the high altitude, spacious outfield, and hilariously bad Rockies defense to score a season-high in runs in a 14-10 win over Colorado Friday night.
The Royals jumped on Rockies starter Kyle Freeland right away on a two-run home run by Andrew Benintendi, his second of the year. But the Rockies took the lead in the second inning when a routine one-out groundout to third turned into an error when Hunter Dozier lost the throw in the sun.
