Nolan Arenado, DJ LeMahieu and Troy Tulowitzki have put up big numbers this season — a combined .305 batting average with 38 home runs and 154 runs batted in. Certainly well deserving of their all-star recognition.
However the Colorado Rockies’ infield trio struggled at the All-Star Game, batting a collective 0-for-4 Tuesday against the American League.
It shouldn’t have been a huge surprise, however. The Rockies’ batters, as inflated as their statistics are during the regular season, have historically struggled in the Midsummer Classic. Colorado hitters have combined for just 9-of-63 from the plate over the years, a paltry .143 batting average with two homers and four RBIs.
However, the Rockies’ pitching staff have fared a bit better: Seven innings pitched, none runs allowed.
