Chad Bettis Rocked In Return
6 years agoThe Colorado Rockies were excited to get starting pitcher Chad Bettis back on the mound, but they got thrashed by the Pirates while Bettis was lit up for nine earned runs in just 4 2/3 innings. Bettis got a bit lucky the first time through the order, drawing line drives that happened to go right to fielders from four different hitters in the first three innings. Unfortunately, everything started to come apart in the fourth inning and the wheels really fell off in the fifth as hit after hit piled up. The Rockies' rotation has been rolling while their bullpen has still struggled, so the option is certainly present for manager Bud Black if he decided to send Bettis to the pen. For now, no decisions have been announced.
