Colorado managed to take advantage of a shaky Bryce Elder in the fourth inning, which began with a Keston Hiura hit-by-pitch and a Tyler Freeman walk. Jordan Beck struck out, but Thairo Estrada’s base hit loaded the bases for burgeoning star Hunter Goodman.

The latest evidence: The Rockies’ 12-4 loss to the Braves on Friday night at Truist Field, in which the Braves scored 11 runs in their last three at-bats. Consider: Colorado got an excellent start from German Marquez and ripped Atlanta pitching for 14 hits, on the road no less.
