Hughes Shines, Rockies Collapse | Colorado Rockies News

Gabriel Hughes dazzled in his third career start, striking out eleven over five innings and tying elite company in Rockies history — but a shaky bullpen and sloppy defense doomed the team, leading to an 8-0 loss to the Nationals. Despite Hughes’ strong outing, the Rockies’ offense went cold with just six hits, while relievers Jimmy Herget and Zach Agnos surrendered multiple runs. Cade Cavalli shined for Washington, and Jake McCarthy extended his on-base streak to 17 games. With the trade deadline looming, Rockies’ players like McCarthy are in the rumor mill. After a brutal day, the team needs a break before facing the Brewers — hoping to bounce back fast. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
