Precious little has gone right for the Rockies early this season, and for a while on a sun-splashed home opener at Coors Field, it looked like they would wash some of those sins away.
Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon hits a grand slam walk-off home run against the Tampa Bay Rays in the 9th inning to win the Rockies home opener 10-7 at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado on Friday, April 05, 2024. Precious little has gone right for the Rockies early this season, and for a while, on a sun-splashed home opener at Coors Field, it looked like they would wash some of those sins away.
When the Rockies awarded Tovar a $63.5 million contract extension during spring training, general manager Bill Schmidt said, “He’s somebody we can build around.” Nolan Jones led off with a single to left, advanced to third on Ryan McMahon’s double, and scored on Elias Diaz’s sacrifice fly. Then Tovar stepped up and crushed lefty Colin Poche’s 2-1 slider 420 feet and into the left-field bleachers.
Gomer needed 41 pitches to escape a rocky first inning, but he got three strikeouts to limit the damage to one run. As often happens, though, Gomber’s leadoff walk to Yandy Diaz haunted him. Diaz scored on Isaac Paredes’ single to make it 1-0.
