Mariners get to Austin Gomber, beat Rockies 5-3 in series opener in Seattle

Published Sat, 30 Nov 2024 12:08:20 GMT

The baseball gods gifted the Rockies a couple positive omens to open their road series in Seattle on Friday. Neither panned out.First, would-be Mariners starter Marco Gonzales was scratched, as the former Rocky Mountain star went on the paternity list. That led soft-throwing veteran Tommy Milone to get the spot start instead, and in the opening inning Kris Bryant proceeded to park Milone’s piped changeup into the left field seats for his first homer of the year and a 1-0 lead.From there, however, it was back to usual programming: A team with a glaring lack of bona fide starting pitching depth, struggling to contend when a pitcher not named Freeland or Marquez is taking the hill.Southpaw Austin Gomber was tagged for five earned runs over 3 2/3 innings pitched, and the Rockies fell 5-3 to the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. Gomber had four walks to two strikeouts, struggling with his command. Meanwhile, Colorado’s offense mustered only seven hits and sputtered in the final inni...

No. 1 Nuggets to face No. 8 Timberwolves in first-round playoff series

Published Sat, 30 Nov 2024 12:08:20 GMT

Nuggets coach Michael Malone lamented the only downside of the No. 1 seed was that Denver wouldn’t know who it’d meet in the first round until late Friday night.With only one day to prepare before Sunday’s Game 1 at 8:30 p.m. in Denver, familiarity shouldn’t be an issue.The Minnesota Timberwolves knocked off the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder, 120-95, on Friday night to claim the No. 8 seed and secure a date against the top-seeded Nuggets.A Northwest Division rival, that’s only the start of the shared history between the two franchises. Most notably, former Nuggets president Tim Connelly left Denver last offseason to run the Timberwolves’ franchise. Connelly was instrumental in turning the Nuggets around and never could’ve guessed that he’d see his former team in his very first playoff series running his new franchise.Ironically, Denver’s current GM, Calvin Booth, spent four years in Minnesota’s front office prior to joining the Nuggets’ franchise.On the court, the Nuggets went 2-2 ...
