Luckily, Harper grounded into a double play and then García struck out to end Sugano’s night. “After [the first two innings] I thought he executed better,” manager Warren Schaeffer said after the game. “In the first two innings, I don’t think he was putting the ball where he wanted to put it and a good team like that with those left-handed hitters are going to make you pay. But after that he gave us three zeroes and protected the ‘pen and then did his job.” In total, Sugano pitched five innings. and allowed five runs on seven hits with one walk and two strikeouts.

The Rockies offense once again struggled against the Phillies pitching, especially Cristopher Sánchez. Sánchez threw seven shutout innings, allowing six hits and seven strikeouts. The combo of Jonathan Bowlan and Jhoan Duran racked up three more strikeouts in the final two innings without allowing a hit. Hunter Goodman singled in the first, but then Willi Castro popped out to short to end the inning. Brenton Doyle, Mickey Moniak and Kyle Karros went down in order in the second, but then Ezequiel Tovar and Jake McCarthy led off the third with back-to-back singles. However, Jordan Beck lined out and Tyler Freeman and Goodman both struck out swinging to end the threat. The Rockies then went down in order in the fourth and fifth before managing another single by Beck to lead off the sixth. They batted around in the seventh a little bit with singles again by Moniak and Tovar (who had two hits on the night), but unfortunately Jake McCarthy flew out after nearly homering to end the inning. In total, the Rockies only had multiple men on in the third and seventh, but weren’t able to capitalize either time. Tovar was the only hitter with multiple hits, as he went 2-for-3. He was also one of three starters to not strike out once (also Beck and Doyle). “Sánchez’s changeup is deadly,” Schaeffer said. “We didn’t have an answer for it today. I thought [Tovar] swung the bat well today, got the ball up, but in general (with) Sánchez, we didn’t have an answer for that changeup. (He’s got) a good fastball, too. He’s a good pitcher for a reason.”
The Rockies have an off day tomorrow before heading to Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Michael Lorenzen will face off against Paul Skenes. First pitch is at 4:40pm MT. See you then!
