This one was marred by a lot of soft contact and weird breaks on both sides of the ball.

But there were also some offensive highlights from TJ Rumfield and Ezequiel Tovar, who both his home runs early. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough and they came on the losing end of another close one. However, maybe you can take some solace in this: Michael Lorenzen had a solid outing Michael Lorenzen made his Rockies debut today and it was an up-and-down outing.

He ended up going 4. 1 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits with four strikeouts. He didn’t walk any batters, but all three runs were scored by Liam Hicks.

The first one came on a sacrifice fly in the third, and the other two on a two-run second-deck homer in the fifth right before Lorenzen was lifted. Overall, Lorenzen did induce a lot of weak contact, but there were a lot of weird breaks and hops that led to hits (more on that later). But he also pitched his 1000th career inning today, which is quite the accomplishment!
