Except that it wasn’t.Cushioned cushioned by a prolific night from the Rockies’ offense, as well as stellar backing from his defense, Lambert was superb in the Rockies 14-1 victory at Coors Field.Colorado’s 13-run victory margin was its largest since Sept. 26, 2018 when it beat Philadelphia, 14-0.Over seven innings, Lambert allowed one run on four hits, struck out five and walked just one. He needed 85 pitches (49 strikes) to complete his night’s work.Asked about giving up a homer on his first pitch, Lambert replied, “It’s a pretty (crummy) feeling, I’ll be honest. You just have to lock it in and move on. You can’t think about it too much.”Friday mar...
