Colorado RockiesvsWashington Nationals
COL 3/WSH 13
Things to say
The Nationals routed the Rockies 13-3 at Nationals Park.
01
opener
Nats put up a crooked number and never looked back. Thirteen to three, and it wasn't even that close. Rockies pitching just had nothing.
02
key player
The heart of the Washington order feasted all night. When you hang 13, it's the whole lineup, but the middle guys did the damage.
03
hot take
Colorado's road trip is a mess. They can't pitch away from Coors and it's showing.
04
deep cut
Rockies manager left his starter out there way too long. Once it's a bloodbath you save the pen, but he burned arms in a lost game.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day tomorrow, let's see if the Rockies can salvage one before they fly out.
The recap
Washington took a Sunday getaway day and turned it into a laugher, hanging 13 on Colorado at Nationals Park. The Nats' heart of the order left the yard early and never let up, while the Rockies' arms couldn't find the strike zone or the exits.
Colorado scratched across three but was buried long before the late innings. When you're a 50-81 club on the road, days like this just pile up.
