When the ball is, quite literally, bouncing your way, all you can do is shrug DENVER -- Troy Johnston was fortunate and good during Monday night’s 9-7 victory over the Astros at Coors Field. He had a chalk-hugging bunt single and rabbit’s-foot bounce off the second-base bag for...

#Rockies bust out with an 8-run inning, most this year, highlighted by a two-run triple by 1B TJ Rumfield.

It's Colorado's first three-bagger, second latest for a first triple behind only 2023.

What also makes this surprising: Rumfield is in the 14th percentile in sprint speed.

After being stifled through 4 innings & trailing 3-0, the #Rockies    throw out an 8 spot in the 5th and now lead the Astros.
Patient at-bats, solid contact, and a little bit of luck goes a long way for a struggling offense

Total implosion by Weiss, along with some tough luck.

Bolton deserved better than this. Espada screwed it up. What a horrible decision #Astros #Rockies
