Boston Red SoxvsColorado Rockies
BOS 6/COL 8
Things to say
The Colorado Rockies beat the Boston Red Sox 8-6 at Coors Field.
01
opener
Rockies took it 8-6 at Coors. Classic mile-high slugfest. Ball was flying out of there all night.
02
key player
Colorado's heart of the order did the damage. A couple guys left the yard and the bats just kept the line moving.
03
hot take
Boston's bullpen blew this one. Manager went to the pen too early and Coors punished every mistake pitch.
04
deep cut
Six runs and the Sox still lost, which tells you everything. At Coors you need eight just to feel safe.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day tomorrow. We'll see if Boston's starter can actually go seven for once.
The recap
Coors Field did what Coors Field does, and the Rockies cashed in for an 8-6 win over the Red Sox. Boston put up six runs of their own, but couldn't keep pace once Colorado's bats got going in the thin air.
The Sox bullpen couldn't slam the door, and the heart of the Rockies order kept the line moving. Final was 8-6, a get-some-runs kind of night where pitching went to take a nap.
