With the start of the Major League Baseball season postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, we here at The Denver Post took a look at how the Rockies would fare in MLB The Show 20 on PlayStation 4. We will have a story for every game that had been scheduled until real-life baseball returns. Here’s a look at the virtual Rockies’ preseason preview. Entering Wednesday’s game, the Rockies were 45-21.
Jon Gray earned his National League-leading 11th win Wednesday, leading the Rockies to a 6-1 victory over the Diamondbacks at Coors Field.
Gray (11-1) allowed just one run — a solo home run to David Peralta in the sixth inning — on four hits while striking out nine in eight innings of work.
Charlie Blackmon hit a home run in his second straight game, a three-run shot off reliever Mike Leake in the seventh inning.
Zac Gallen (3-6) took the loss after giving up three runs in 5 1/3 innings.
Colorado (46-21) increased its lead in the NL West to nine games over the Dodgers (37-30). Arizona falls to 28-39. Antonio Senzatela (6-0) takes the mound for the Rockies Thursday against Diamondbacks’ Luke Weaver (3-0).
