Ryan McMahon Has Huge Game
6 years agoColorado Rockies second baseman Ryan McMahon got his third start in four days on Thursday, and he took full advantage of this one. McMahon was one of the stars of the team's offensive juggernaut, recording three of Colorado's 18 hits in the game, including a home run and a double. The two-run home run was smashed into the second deck in right field when McMahon turned on a low and inside breaking ball that was an ugly two-strike pitch. McMahon's been up and down over the last couple weeks as he's trying to find a way to get in the groove while also sitting regularly while super-prospect Brendan Rodgers gets the majority of the playing time. Unfortunately, unless there's an injury, Rodgers forgets how to hit, or McMahon can really turn it on, he's unlikely to see more than three or four starts per week.
