Ryan Rolison, the Rockies 1st round pick in the 2018 draft, started the first game of a double-header for Rookie Grand Junction and no-hit Missoula over three innings pitched. Ryan gave up one walk, struck out three batters, and tossed 22 of his highly efficient 36 pitches for strikes. He lowered his ERA to 1.96 and WHIP to a remarkable 0.78 in another gem, and opponents are now hitting just .146 against him. In 23 dominant innings this season, Ryan has given up only one home run—six total runs—and struck out 28 hitters.
Offensively, Niko Decolati (the Rockies 6th round pick in 2018) continued to impress by going a combined 5-for-8 in the double-header. In Asheville, Casey Golden hit two bombs for the Tourists (he has 31 on the year), Jordan Patterson had a home run and a double for the ‘Topes, and Colton Welker joined the party with a dinger of his own for Lancaster.
