Sanchez Battered in Rockies Debut Loss (LISTEN LIVE TONIGHT on ESPN Radio 1410)

Jonathan Sanchez’s Rockies debut went as smoothly as could have been expected – which is to say, not at all. Sanchez was torched for five runs in four innings as the Rockies fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-3 in Arizona last night. The big blow off the Rockies’ newest pitching acquisition was a two-out three-run triple by D-Backs hurler Ian Kennedy in the fourth inning. Sanchez, who came to the Rockies in a trade with Kansas City for fellow disappointment Jeremy Guthrie last week, allowed six hits and walked four batters. The Rockies’ big highlight came in the fifth inning when Josh Rutledge hit his first career home run, a solo blast off Kennedy. The Rockies and Diamondbacks play game two of their three-game series tonight at Chase Field. ESPN Radio 1410 has all the action, with pregame coverage at 8:05 and first pitch at 8:40.
