DENVER -- Zac Rosscup faced three left-handed batters between the end of the sixth inning and the beginning of the seventh inning on Friday night. The fourth lefty, the Rockies' Ryan McMahon, launched a two-run homer to help lift the Rockies to a 5-4 win over the Dodgers.
The left-handed Rosscup -- a former Rockies pitcher who was claimed off waivers in July -- had allowed just three home runs off left-handed batters in his career before Friday. Rosscup is known for lefty-on-lefty matchups. In his career, left-handers are hitting just .141 off him, and he's struck out 37 in 92 at bats.
