The Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies played a back-and-forth game in Denver tonight, a classic Coors Field game, but it ended poorly for the Brewers, as the Rockies walked it off in extra innings. The loss overshadowed the return of Garrett Mitchell, who looked solid in his first game of the season.
Colorado struck first in this one. Rob Zastrzyny, tonight’s opener and the 15th different starting pitcher for the Brewers this season, had a 1-2-3 first, but in the bottom of the second, Brenton Doyle got a 2-2 fastball that was right down the middle, and down-the-middle fastballs are not always going to go great at Coors Field.
