With their starting rotation racked by injuries, the Rockies were forced to use a bullpen game Tuesday night at Coors Field. A sextet of relievers blanked the Astros for eight innings in Colorado’s 4-3 victory.
A pitch clock violation cost Colorado a prime scoring opportunity in the sixth against hard-throwing reliever Ryne Stanek. McMahon led off with an infield single and advanced to third on C.J. Cron’s fluke double to left. It should have been an easy out for Kyle Tucker but he lost the ball in twilight.
Stanek got Elias Diaz to ground out sharply to short, and then Nolan Jones got rung up for strike three on the pitch clock violation. Stanek struck out Tovar to end the inning. Both teams struggled to hit in the clutch. Houston finished 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base.
