Josiah Gray cruised through five in Coors Field, and took the mound in the sixth with a 4-0 lead, but the Washington Nationals’ right-hander lost his command, and gave up a leadoff single, back-to-back walks, and a one-out, base-clearing double to center field that got the Colorado Rockies back into the series opener in Denver, CO., 4-3.
Austin Voth, Mason Thompson, and Kyle Finnegan followed Gray on the mound and they kept the Nats up by one through eight, 4-3, before they added to the lead in the ninth, 5-3.
Tanner Rainey locked it down after he gave up a run in the ninth, 5-4 final.
