To be fair, we should've gotten at least 1(maybe even 3 more) when you consider that awful double play call.
This is what happens a lot at Coors though. There's so many hits because of the outfield dimensions, which I've always said is the biggest reason so many runs are scored at this stadium. That's especially the case since the use of the humidor. I mean look at the Rockies today, 11 runs and 13 hits, no home runs. 29 hits between the 2 teams, no home runs. We've just been unable to get a big hit or two with multiple runners on.

That explains some of it. I wasn't following the game, just checked the boxscore and it seemed a bit odd the ratio of hits and runs.
