Kyle Kendrick Is the Rockies' Opening Day Starter
It could always be worse, Phillies fans. It could always be worse.
Kendrick, 30, was always the youthful touch on veteran staffs with the Phillies. But with the Rockies, he is the only one of the projected starters to have appeared in a postseason game. It was Game 2 of the 2007 National League Division Series — a 10-5 loss to the Rockies during Colorado’s magical run to its only World Series appearance. Now Kendrick is a leader in purple pinstripes.
“Kyle has been everything we thought he was,” Weiss said. “He’s very professional, very efficient on the mound. He’s a veteran guy that’s pitched in big games.”
