<\/p>\n

Rockies starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen struggled with command today, issuing a leadoff walk to Bobby Witt Jr. in the first inning before surrendering a double to Jac Caglianone. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Colorado escaped the jam for the time being by turning an unconventional 6-4-3 double play.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Lorenzen surrendered back-to-back singles and a walk, setting up Nick Loftin’s grand slam that put the Royals ahead 5-0 early.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lorenzen finished his outing after two innings, giving up four hits and five runs while walking four batters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Colorado clawed back in the bottom of the second with solo home runs from Jordan Beck and Charlie Condon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rockies rotation hopeful Ryan Feltner struggled as well, walking four batters and surrendering three runs in just 1.2 innings.<\/p>\n
