Re: Official MLB The Show 18 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread
The Rockies looked to continue their win streak as they concluded the road trip with three against the Pirates.
In game 1, Shelby Miller was able to give the Rockies seven decent innings while the bats came alive. The Rockies had jumped out to a 5-0 lead, and then to a 6-2 lead before the Pirates made a 6-4 through seven innings. The Rockies were able to pick up a couple more insurance runs on an 2-RBI single in the 8th to make the score 8-4. Earlier, Escobar hit a 3-run HR to cap off the 3rd inning. The bullpen held the lead for the Rockies win.
In game 2, Bartolo Colon looked shaky on the mound and didn't have a good day. The Rockies had a 3-0 lead, but that quickly evaporated and turned into a 6-3 deficit by the time they chased Colon from the game. The Pirates bullpen was holding things down for a while, but in the 7th, Miguel Sano delivered a game-tying, 2-outs, 3-run home run right when it looked like the Rockies were going to waste a great chance to draw closer. The team then piled on six more runs to turn it into a 12-6 score that would become a 12-7 win.
The third and final game was a pitching duel from start to finish. Yairo Munoz hit a home run to jump out 1-0 but the Pirates tied it at 1 as Guzman drove in Machado in the 4th. That would be how the score would stand through nine innings. Rockies starter Bridwell dueled Pirates hurler Wacha through six innings and then the bullpens took over. The game would need 12 innings to find a conclusion. That end came on a walk-off triple by Pina off Devenski to give the Pirates a 2-1 victory and snap the Rockies win streak at 8 games.
In the game Vizcaino went down with an injury and is expected to miss 4 to 8 weeks with a broken hand. Francisco Rodriguez was called up to fill the empty spot in the bullpen.
After a day off, the Rockies will head home for a quick six game home stand starting with three with the Cubs.
