Bad Offense, Good Pitcher

What happens when a bad offense goes up against a good pitcher? Chris Young and the Rockies demonstrated that last night as Colorado scored just one run for the second night in a row. Young dominated, throwing 72 of 101 pitches for strikes and picking up seven Ks without walking a batter. He had been a bit wild entering the game with 10 walks in his three previous starts.

The Rockies now rank 25th in the majors in runs per game at 3.71. One reason is rookies Troy Tulowitzki and Chris Iannetta haven't found their strides. Both are hitting under the Mendoza line and doing little else offensively to make themselves valuable.
