Daniel Murphy Scores Twice In Loss
5 years agoColorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy singled and walked twice in the team's loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday. It was the first time Murphy scored two runs in a game in nearly a month, and they were just his second and third walks of August. Murphy has really struggled to hit for power this season. His HR/FB rate has fallen for the third straight year, and while he's hit 25 doubles, he'll likely finish with less than 15 home runs for the second straight season. It's not clear yet whether this is age catching up to the 34-year-old or a result of his early hand injury, but either way, this certainly isn't what the Rockies expected when they signed Murphy in the offseason.
