With the start of the Major League Baseball season postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, we here at The Denver Post took a look at how the Rockies would fare in MLB The Show 20 on PlayStation 4. We will have a story for every game that had been scheduled until real-life baseball returns. Here’s a look at the virtual Rockies’ preseason preview. Entering Saturday’s game, the Rockies were 55-26.
MINNEAPOLIS — The Rockies managed just four hits in a 6-0 loss Saturday to the Twins in Target Field.
Minnesota starter Devin Smeltzer (11-0) kept his record perfect, giving up just three hits in seven innings of work against Colorado. On the season, he has a 1.94 earned-run average.
Colorado’s Jon Gray (12-2) had a solid outing, allowing three runs on seven hits in six innings but had zero offensive support.
