Colorado Rockies pitcher Justin Lawrence reacts after giving up a double to Arizona Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suarez to allow in two runs in the ninth inning of a baseball game Wednesday, April 10, 2024, in Denver. Arizona’s Eugenio Suarez, mired in an 0-for-17 slump, hit a two-out 72.3 mph blooper into no-man’s land. Rockies left fielder Nolan Jones raced over, desperate to make the catch. He dove, came up empty, and two runs came in.
“It’s a crucial situation in the game, and I was doing anything I could to make a play, but I came up a few inches short,” said Jones, who went 0 for 5, struck out three times, and made the final out. “It’s tough for me right now; it’s frustrating, but I know it’s going to turn around,” said Jones, who struck out in his first three at-bats. He’s hitting .157 and has struck out 23 times in 57 plate appearances.
The Rockies had a chance to take the lead in the eighth when Brendan Rodgers broke out of his own slump with a two-out double into the right-field corner, but lefty reliever Joe Mantiply came in to get Michael Toglia to pop out to left. Colorado’s starting pitching, so bad to begin the season, was solid during the homestand, posting a 3.55 ERA with four quality starts.
Colorado took a 3-2 lead in the fourth on Toglia’s two-run homer to dead center. Toglia drove in Rodgers, who reached on an error by Alexander at shortstop. Toglia’s homer was his team-leading third of the season.Colorado paraprofessional arrested after police say video shows her beating autistic child on school busVietnamese restaurant from the daughters of New Saigon owners now open
