Braves hammer Rockies, again, in contrast of National League franchises speeding in opposite directions

And Colorado is a club with such a dearth of legitimate starting pitching depth that the Rockies deem it necessary to trot out a pitcher with an ERA north of 10 against perhaps the most stacked lineup in the National League.The result was a predictable romp by the NL’s best team (Atlanta has a Senior Circuit-best 44-26 record) against one of the NL’s worst as Colorado (29-43) continues to toil in the basement of the West.Right-hander Dinelson Lamet ran his ERA up to ...
