The executives of the Mexican Baseball Federation didn’t have this on their mind, when they agreed to an exhibition against the Colorado Rockies. The 2007 National League Champion crushed the Olympic Qualifier participant by a score of 15-2.
The Rox scored in five of the first six innings to take a commanding 15-0 lead. The Mexican center fielder and leadoff hitter Albino CONTRERAS smacked a two-run-homerun in the seventh to prevent a shutout.
Starter Francisco CAMPOS allowed nine hits, six runs (5 ER) and a walk in four innings, striking out four. Jose SILVA relieved him and was even worse. He was charged with seven hits, nine runs (8 ER) and three base on balls in 1.1 innings pitched. Former Rockies reliever David CORTES and Rafael DIAZ finished the game, showing promising efforts.
Mexico and Colorado are playing another game on Sunday.
