The Rockies’ starting pitchers don’t ask for much, but they need a few runs to work with. When they get a little run support, they’re downright dangerous. Fact: The Rockies are 13-5 when scoring three-plus runs on the road, something they hadn’t done in their previous four roadies.
Salvage Co.
Yes, the Rockies salvaged a win in the three-game series at Dodger Stadium, but their road record has been getting ugly. They haven’t won a road series since winning two games of an abbreviated set with the Cubs on April 25-26 in Chicago.
Setting the table.
Seth Smith was hitting .176 (3-for-17) as a leadoff hitter before doubling and singling in two of his first three at-bats Wednesday. It was his lowest average of any of the five spots in which he has hit in 2011.
