At least the “Swifties” are happy.
After every Rockies loss at Coors Field, Taylor Swift‘s “Shake It Off” is cheerily played through the sound system. It’s music to opponents’ ears.
The Rockies lost again Sunday afternoon, falling 8-1 to the Reds in a game that once again illustrated that Colorado’s offense is closer to Triple-A than big league. Colorado was outhit 14-3.
And so the avalanche of defeats continued.
Colorado lost its sixth straight and is now 4-23 to open a season that gets darker by the day, and the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel” seems a million miles away.
Just how low did the Rockies go in LoDo on Sunday? Reds lefty Nick LoDolo threw a no-hitter for 5 1/3 innings. He finished his day with a seven-inning gem, allowing two hits, striking out nine, and walking one.
The Rockies’ first hit might not have been a hit of all. Their second hit barely reached the third-base bag.
With one out in the sixth, Colorado’s Jordan Beck hit a hard grounder that shortstop Elly De La Cruz dug out of the hole. De La Cruz spun and made a throw to first baseman Spencer Steer. The wide throw pulled Steer off the bag and the official scorer ruled it a hit. The Reds questioned the scoring decision, but the call stood.
In the seventh, Colorado’s Kyle Farmer hit a ball that tightroped the third-base line and hit the bag, giving Farmer an infield single.
Colorado finally got on the board in the eighth against reliever Lyon Richardson. Alan Trejo, added to the team on Sunday, led off with a single and scored on Beck’s sacrifice fly to center. As Trejo crossed the plate, the fans responded with a sarcastic LoDo Cheer.
Right-hander Ryan Feltner was initially scheduled to start Sunday’s game, but he’s still recovering from back spasms. Colorado called up right-hander Bradley Blaylock from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace Feltner. Blalock had an erratic outing, giving up six runs on seven hits over four innings.
Feltner is slated to start Monday’s game against the Braves at Coors Field.
