Getting your player ready...
At the plate
There was Jeff Baker’s second-inning double and little else. Baker scored the only run on Joe Koshansky’s groundout.
On the mound
Competing for the fifth rotation spot, Jason Hirsh stumbled, permitting six hits to the 13 batters he faced. His velocity peaked at 89 miles per hour, a considerable spike from last season’s 85.
In the field
Eric Young Jr., who stole a base, continues to show potential at second base. The Rockies are giving him a long look before deciding if he’s better suited to be a utility player.
Up next
The Angels host the Rockies in Tempe. Rockies pitchers — Greg Smith, Glendon Rusch, Greg Reynolds, Juan Morillo, Matt Daley. Angels starter — Sean O’Sullivan.
