Colorado Rockies beat New York Giants 5:2 in a regular-season MLB match on Friday night. The visiting side ran away with it from the start, and the final score told the story of a one-sided evening.
By then the Giants had already fallen behind, and everything after that was damage limitation. The Rockies worked their advantage early and never looked back, while the home side simply ran out of ideas.
Five runs to two is not a margin that excuses poor defence, and neither side did much to argue otherwise. The Rockies were the better team on the night, and they played like it.
and here's the thing — this was supposed to be a competitive fixture. Instead it became a showcase of how quickly a game can slip away when you stop showing up.
The Giants now have something to think about before their next outing. The Rockies, meanwhile, are on a good run and seem to have found their rhythm.
