Rockies are 3-5 this season in matches following ones in which they've scored 10 or more runs - in the following pairings the opponent and venue are the same for both matches except as noted:

13th May - beat Padres at home 12-7, lost 9-7 the following day

Perhaps the Rockies were on an emotional rush yesterday, coming together strongly in the wake of the Nicasio tragedy - teams have been known to experience such performance highs following such events - and it has to be remembered that the Rockies did allow seven runs as well, so yesterday's result was hardly an unqualified masterpiece for them. Whatever...just hoping the Nats can develop some needed resilience (mental toughness has been in rather short supply historically at this ball club) and Eeyore can prevail over the 2-6 Aaron Cook to enable the Nats to win more than one at Coors Field for the first time since 2008.
