Rockies’ Noah Davis rocked by D-backs as Colorado loses seventh straight at Coors Field

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:21:00 GMT

Noah Davis dodged his inevitable baptism by fire, until Saturday night.The Rockies’ rookie right-hander, so good in his first two big-league starts, was roasted by the Diamondbacks, who ripped Colorado, 11-4, in front of 34,399 fans at Coors Field.“The first couple of starts went well and I felt like I was competing,” Davis said. “All you can really ask for is to go out there and compete and see what the results are. But you have to take your lumps when they come. It’s going to be a learning process.”Davis, 25, entered the game with an 0.93 ERA, the lowest in Rockies history for a pitcher’s first two career starts. Davis was also the only Rockies pitcher to not allow an extra-base hit through his first two starts. But it took Arizona just two innings to teach Davis some big-league lessons. He departed having given up seven runs on seven hits with an ERA of 6.17.“He threw strikes for the most part, although there were some walks in ther...
