Alex Wood has decided that he really doesn’t want to come out of the rotation, and he continued to show that by absolutely shoving against a great Rockies lineup. In six innings he threw 60 of his 88 pitches for a strike, allowing just five hits and a walk while striking out 10 batters. Wood was never really in danger in his six frames, allowing no runner past second, only two runners to second, and they got there on a stolen base and an infield single.
Wood got some help from the defense, like with Justin Turner‘s great diving stop and throw from his knees.
