The punchless Rockies had no answers to the Colorado Kid and the “Polar Bear.”
Colorado Rockies’ Kris Bryant reacts after striking out against New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson to end the fifth inning of a baseball game Thursday, Aug. 8, 2024, in Denver. Behind lefty David Peterson, a 2014 Regis Jesuit graduate, and slugging first baseman Pete Alonso, the Mets drubbed the Rockies 9-1 on a cool, cloudy afternoon at Coors Field. New York won the three-game series, halting a mini-streak by the Rockies, who had won three consecutive series at home.
Alonso, nicknamed the Polar Bear by teammate Todd Frazier during spring training in 2019, won the 2021 Home Run Derby during the All-Star Game at Coors Field in 2021. His first two at-bats on Thursday were Derby-worthy and good for 925 feet. The first inning has been Gomber’s Achilles’ heel for most of the season. He’s allowed 28 of his 66 runs in the opening frame, the most in the majors. In the first, opponents are hitting .380 with nine doubles and six home runs. Gomber’s first-inning ERA is 11.46.
The left-hander remains an enigma. His magical May has been replaced by inconsistency. In 12 starts since then, he’s 2-5 with a 7.01 ERA.
