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 Friday’s game, the Rockies were 57-29.
The Giants made a run late in the ninth inning, but the Rockies held on to win, 4-1, Friday at Coors Field.
Colorado starter Jon Gray (13-2) gave up just one run and struck out six in 8 2/3 innings of work.
The Rockies got on the board early after first baseman Daniel Murphy hit a three-run home run in the first inning. Colorado added one more in the seventh when Nolan Arenado added a solo shot.
Colorado (58-29) has a seven-game lead over the Dodgers (52-37) for first place in the National League West. The Rockies and the Giants (34-53) play again on Saturday. Colorado’s Antonio Senzatela (6-3) takes the mound against former Grandview High School star Kevin Gausman (8-6).
Note: The next live stream will take place at 3 p.m. MT Sunday. There will only be a recap for Saturday’s games.
