DENVER —
Eric Lauer has been good much of this season.
And then he’s been bad. Too often, really bad.
As has been his tendency in 2019, his start Friday night at Coors Field deteriorated quickly.
The 23-year-old left-hander did not retire any of the six batters he faced in the fourth inning, as the Rockies opened an eight-run lead at his expense en route to a 12-2 victory.
Lauer (2-4) now has a 21.00 ERA in his two career starts in this ballpark a mile above sea level and a 5.75 ERA through eight starts this season.
