The Colorado Rockies were unable to overcome a rough debut from Drew Pomeranz and ultimately lost the series finale with the Giants 5-2. Drew Pomeranz mad his much anticipated debut for the Rockies and was sub par in his outing today. He lasted just 4 1/3rd innings allowing seven hits, four runs, four walks and struck out five. He looked decent through the first four innings but the wheels fell off when he reached the fifth inning. In the fifth he gave up back to back hits and then an error allowed a run to score and then gave up a two run home run to Hunter Pence. He was rattled after the home run and issued back to back walks and was then taken out of the game by Walt Weiss. A disappointing start to the 2013 season for Drew Pomeranz.
The Rockies were stifled offensively by Madison Bumgarner on the day. Bumgarner went seven innings allowing just four hits, one run, three walks and had five strikeouts in the game. Carlos Gonzalez regained sole possession of the home run lead for the National League as he took Bumgarner deep in the 6th inning. Michael Cuddyer is the bright spot for the Rockies today as he was able to extend his hitting streak to 27 games. He made it interesting as he went hitless in his first three at bats of the game and in his final at bat he hit a single up the middle much to the delight of the hometown crowd who gave him a standing ovation when he reached first base. Cuddyer has now also reached base in 46 straight games.
The Rockies have a much needed off day tomorrow and will be taking on the red hot Dodgers led by rookie phenom Yasiel Puig on Tuesday. The Rockies will be hoping that the off day will rejuvenate their bats as well as heal up some of the ailing Rockies and rest the bullpen which has been used with great frequency so far this season.
