Game #33 – May 3 – Coors Field

Ryan McKenna took Neil Crismatt's 1st pitch of the game and deposited it 399 feet down the LF line. Connor Wong hit HR #5 to lead off the 3rd, giving Charlotte a 2-0 lead. Elehuris Montero singled home 2 more runs later in the inning.

Michael Toglia's 2-run homer in the bottom of the inning cut Charlotte's lead to 4-2.

The Knights added to their lead on Brandon Drury's RBI groundout in the 5th, but the Rockies got the run back on Toglia's single in the bottom of the inning. Kole Calhoun singled home a run in the 6th. Owen Miller drew a bases-loaded walk, Drury singled home a run, and Montero doubled into the right-centerfield gap to score 2 more and make it a 10-3 game.

Colorado scored 3 times in the 7th to make it 10-6. Miguel Vargas collected his first RBIs as a Knight with a 2 run double in the 8th.

Jose Iglesias was diagnosed with a sprained ankle and will miss 5 weeks. This is a problem as there is no other real shortstop on the roster (the Knights traded Yunior Severino in the Vargas deal). The choice came down to Cole Tucker, Bryson Brigham, and Ji-hwan Bae. It was decided that Tucker, who opened the season on the major league roster, will get the first opportunity to establish himself in the team's plans. He came up originally as a shortstop with the Pirates.

Final Score: Charlotte 12, Colorado 6
WP: D. Duffy (4-2)
LP: N. Crismatt (1-2)
Record: 18-15
Player of the Game: Elihuris Montero

TRANSACTION: Placed Jose Iglesias in the 10-day Injured List. Purchased the contract of Cole Tucker from AA. DFA'd Logan Allen (to make room on the 40 man roster). Purchased the contract of Nick Robertson from AAA (to replace Allen on the active roster).
