Friday night’s main attraction followed the same, tired old plot, but at least Rockies rookie outfielder Nolan Jones provided some entertainment.
Friday night’s feature attraction followed the same, tired old plot.
Jones, acquired from Cleveland during the offseason, continues to show signs that he could be a future star. Jones, who’s made headlines with his throws from the outfield, has been dynamite in the clutch. His 14th homer of the season improved his average with runners in scoring position to .426 , with six home runs included in the equation.
Jones’ 14 homers are the second-most by a left-handed hitting rookie in franchise history, trailing only Todd Helton, who hit 25 in 1998.OK, back to the seventh-inning meltdown in which the Blue Jays scored five runs, leading to Colorado’s 10th loss in its last 11 games. The Rockies have held the lead in the sixth inning or later in seven of those 10 losses.
“I look at his stuff and I don’t see a drop in any of his stuff. location is what I’m seeing,” Black said when asked if Bird is fatigued at this point in the season. Bird’s 74 innings out of the bullpen — not including his three starts when he was used as an opener — are the most in the majors.
