ICYMI: Braves finish off four-game sweep of Rockies at Coors Field, 8-7
For the first time, Atlanta came into Coors Field and swept a four-game series. Its 8-7 victory on Sunday afternoon sealed the deal.
After the game, Rodgers provided what’s become a familiar refrain for a team that’s lost 20 of its last 27 games. The silver lining for the Rockies was the continuing power surge from Rodgers and rookie catcher Brian Serven. Rodgers, who hit cleanup Sunday, hit his sixth homer of the season. Servin launched a two-run blast off of Will Smith in the eighth, cutting Atlanta’s lead to 8-6. It was Serven’s third homer in 12 big-league games.
Colorado rookie right-hander Ryan Feltner, hoping to solidify a spot in the starting rotation with a strong performance, did not make a good three-inning impression. The Braves blasted him for six runs on seven hits, including a 441-foot, three-run by Olson in the second inning.
