After over an hour of rain delay, the wet weather in Colorado stalled just enough for the series opener between the Dodgers and Rockies to commence. It seemed like Adrian Gonzalez, who turned 33-years old on Friday, was at the center of the game and a part of several key plays.
Brett Anderson and Eddie Butler did their best to pitch in the wet and slippery conditions. Both pitchers battled to stay on the mound, and Anderson slipped once. Butler’s command was also tested by the wet baseballs, and he also had to pitch through a sore shin when he was drilled by a Juan Uribe liner.
