SAN FRANCISCO–Colorado Rockies relievers own a combined 4.50 ERA this season, but it wasn’t much of a surprise when four bullpen arms blanked the Giants over six innings in Thursday’s series-opener.
After securing a playoff berth but losing the National League Wildcard Game in 2017, the Rockies dumped massive sums of money into their bullpen as the club added closer Wade Davis and set-up man Bryan Shaw while re-signing lefty Jake McGee.
“They have a good bullpen, they obviously went out and that was something that they wanted to improve on this offseason and they looked good,” shortstop Brandon Crawford said.
