Rockies walk 12, manage just four hits in 6-2 loss to Cubs

No sweep for you, Rockies.

Chicago Cubs’ Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong celebrate after Crow-Armstrong’s two-run home run in the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Colorado Rockies, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024, in Denver. Chicago veteran right-hander Kyle Hendricks, first baseman Michael Busch, and a bushel full of walks ensured that on a perfect, late-summer Sunday afternoon at Coors Field.

Chicago put an exclamation point on its victory with a three-run ninth off erratic reliever Justin Lawrence, who served up a solo homer to Busch and a two-run homer to Pete Crow-Armstrong. Lawrence, whose ERA rose to 6.04, walked three in the frame. Rockies righty Cal Quantrill was no match for Hendricks. Back from a two-week stint on the injured list where he dealt with right triceps inflammation, Quantrill had an awful start. The right-hander walked six and gave up four hits in just 2 1/3 innings.
