It's quite funny watching the performance of the US National Anthem in some places, because the organisers make helpful additions to the anthem from time to time, such as the red fireworks that are set off at Coors Field to accompany "the rockets' red glare" line. You can see who wasn't expecting it, as people crouch down and/or scream.
It took longer for the Giants to get going tonight, but eventually they did so, putting up 2, then 1 and then 3 in the 6th, highlighted by Madison Bumgarner (the pitcher!) hitting a 2-RBI double to the wall to help himself. The Rockies scored a run in the bottom of the 5th and nothing else. Wth a 3 added on in the 7th with some poor fielding by the Rockies, the final score was 9-1. Sadly, it looks like Cody Ross will be out for the season with a muscle problem as he pulled up quickly whilst trying to reach second base.
Stating the obvious? No warning about bright, flashing lights though! |
P.S. the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 7-6 this evening.
