The Colorado Rockies today picked up a 12-5 win behind a strong big league debut from Chase Dollander. Dollander, who is the Rockies’ top prospect, went five innings. He gave up four runs on seven hits; he walked one and struck out six. The home run ball hurt him as he gave up two big flies. The Rockies return Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. They will do so with another prospect on their roster as they’re calling up outfielder Zac Veen. Veen thru seven games in Triple-A and is hitting .444 with a 1.294 OPS. He has four doubles, a triple, a home run, eight RBI, six runs scored, a stolen base, and three walks. Veen impressed in spring training, in which he hit .270 with a .812 OPS. He had four doubles, a triple, two home runs, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored, nine stolen bases, and seven walks.
