A Good first month despite key injuries
May 1st, 2018
W - 18 / L - 7 / .5 Game Lead
Stryker Trahan wins batter of the month for NL
It was overall a good month for the Rockies but as the article's title says a couple of key injuries took place in the first week of the season. SS Troy Tulowitzki hit the DL 4 days into the season with shoulder tendinitis and was out for 4 weeks but should be back in 2 days. As well CF Jose Soto played just 4 games after coming back from the DL just to go back on it for 5 weeks with a strained oblique. The Rockies starting pitch has been pretty good to start the season as well as the back end of the bullpen. The middle relievers though have had some issues so far but the Rockies are hoping the rust will shake off soon.
