Rockies' Jeff Hoffman: Roughed up in first MLB start
Hoffman allowed seven runs on seven hits in four innings Saturday against the Chicago Cubs in his first big league start.
Analysis:
It was a double whammy for Hoffman, facing the best team in baseball in the thin air in Colorado. He walked one batter while striking out two in the 9-2 loss to the Cubbies. Hoffman held Chicago scoreless through three innings, but a throwing error opened the floodgates in the fourth. Hoffman's next start is slated for Friday at Washington.
