Milwaukee BrewersvsColorado Rockies
MIL 12/COL 4
Things to say
Brewers crushed the Rockies 12-4 at Coors Field.
01
opener
Brewers absolutely thumped Colorado out in Denver. Twelve runs at Coors, which, yeah, Coors, but still. Rockies are just cooked right now.
02
key player
Milwaukee's lineup one through nine looked locked in — heart of the order kept turning it over and Colorado's starter never got into his stuff.
03
hot take
Honestly the Rockies should just blow it up. 24-42 is not a slump, that's a roster problem.
04
deep cut
Brewers are 40-23 now. Quietly running away with the Central while everyone's watching the Dodgers and the Phillies.
05
exit
Curious if Milwaukee can keep it rolling once they're out of the thin air — anyway, catch the next one?
The recap
Brewers rolled into Coors and put up a dozen, which tells you all you need to know about how the Rockies' staff held up at altitude. Milwaukee's bats got into everything early and never let Colorado breathe, turning this into a laugher by the middle innings.
The Rockies bullpen got cooked the moment the starter handed it over, and at 24-42 you can see why this team can't stop the bleeding. Brewers move to 40-23 and look like the class of the NL Central.
