GAME STORY | The Rockies fell behind early when the Cubs hammered starter Austin Gomber, put together two rallies, but could never get over the top.
The Rockies’ 6-4 loss to the Cubs on Sunday afternoon could be a fish story. Or perhaps a tale of unrequited love.Colorado fell behind early when the Cubs hammered starter Austin Gomber, then put together two rallies, but could never get over the top. Hitting 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and leaving eight men on base tends to have that effect.
And so a crowd of 36,391 at Coors Field, many of them Cubbies fans, watched the Rockies split the four-game series and fall to 6-3 early in the season. Instead, all they got was a sacrifice fly from Kris Bryant, the former Cub. Reliever Mychal Givens, the former Rockie, struck out Elias Diaz and got Ryan McMahon to ground out to second. The Cubs held their 6-4 lead.
The Rockies, who struggled to hit in the clutch last season, have a .225 average with runners in scoring position so far, the fourth-lowest in the NL. In those 89 at-bats, the Rockies have struck out 23 times
