Thursday's Recap

Thursday Recap

The Colorado Rockies lost the final three games of a four game series against the Houston Astros including Thursday’s 5-4 loss at Coors Field. The Rockies have fell to 30-30 and are six games back of division leader Los Angeles. Their recent struggles may be attributed to a bit of bad luck, so a turnaround is still in the cards.

The Rockies have outscored their opponents by 37 runs but still sit at .500. To put that in perspective the Texas Rangers have also outscored their opponents by 37 runs but are 6 games above .500 and are in first place in their division.

“We still have confidence,” said Rockies outfielder Carols Gonzalez, “We’re a good team, we need to prove it.” (ESPN) Gonzalez almost hit a homerun with two outs in the ninth that would have tied tha game, but it was caught by Astros left fielder Carols Lee.

Jhoulys Chacin took the loss and fell to 3-5 on the season. He pitched six innings and gave up four earned runs.
