1:3
Trevor Story returned to the Rockies lineup after a stint on the disabled list and immediately looked better than his .180 batting average up to that point would indicate. Story appears to have recovered from the left shoulder strain that landed him on the DL, but more importantly he looks more comfortable at the plate.
Story homered in Thursday’s series finale against the Phillies, but what was more impressive is that he compiled a 1:3 strikeout to walk ratio in two starts. Prior to his stint on the DL, he had struck out 48 times and walked only 17 times. Strikeouts have been his biggest weakness in the early part of his career, so it was nice to see him working counts and having productive at-bats.
