With the start of the Major League Baseball season postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, we here at The Denver Post took a look at how the Rockies would fare in MLB The Show 20 on PlayStation 4. We will have a story for every game that had been scheduled until real-life baseball returns. Here’s a look at the virtual Rockies’ preseason preview. Entering Tuesday’s game, the Rockies were 19-8.

What. An. Ending.

David Dahl crushed a walk-off two-run blast in the bottom of the 11th inning to give the Rockies an 8-6 win over the White Sox Tuesday at Coors Field in Denver. The Colorado outfielder finished the day batting 3 for 6 with four RBIs.

Rockies reliever Wade Davis (1-0) struck out six in three shutout innings late to carry the team en route to victory.
