Tuesday Recap

Tuesday’s Game Recap

The Rockies lost the second game of a four gamer series at Coors Field to the Astros 4-3 despite taking a 3-0 lead after the first inning. Rockies starting pitcher Jeff Francis was very effective. He pitched for seven strong innings, limiting them to two runs on seven hits and zero walks during that time. It seems Francis is back to his 2007 form when he won a record 17 games for the Rockies. He sat out most of 2009 after undergoing surgery on his throwing shoulder that was sore in 2008.

Francis left the game with a 3-2 lead but Matt Belisle, who has been incredibly effective from the bullpen this year, was charged with two runs are the Rockies relinquished the lead in the top of the eighth. The Rockies bats were almost non-existent after the first inning.

Troy Tulowitzki remains hot in June. He went 2-3 with a double and two RBI.
