It’s Monday, June 16 and the Rockies (14-57) are in Washington to take on the Nationals (30-41). Carson Palmquist is slated to take the mound for Colorado against Jake Irvin for Washington. The Nationals have lost eight consecutive games and are coming off being swept in a three-game series to the Marlins and Mets over the past seven days.

Then the seventh inning rolled around and the Rockies proceeded to pull away and eventually turn it into a 10-1 laugher over the Atlanta Braves. I’m going to be completely honest with y’all: The first six innings of this game were about as dull as you could imagine a baseball game could be.

The Colorado Rockies have reinstated left-hander Austin Gomber from the 60-day injured list before his start against the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves showed positive offensive signs in their first two games against the Rockies — with 16 runs on 22 hits — but Sunday’s series finale demonstrated the group is still searching for consistency.

The Atlanta Braves will not have left-hander Chris Sale make his next scheduled start as planned, instead moving him back in the rotation.
