All told, 17 total states are rooting for the Rockies, ahead of the New York Yankees’ 13 states, five states cheering for the Brewers and six for the Atlanta Braves, among others.
The Rockies lost 4-0 in Game 2 of the NLDS, down 2-0 to the Brewers in the series. They’ll need to come back to win today and even up the series with Tyler Anderson pitching very well through six innings. He finished the game allowing four hits, one run and striking out five.
However, Colorado’s struggled mightily from the plate in the series, batting a combined 10-58 (.172).
Colorado needs their stars, in Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story — among others — to pick up their collective games from the plate if they’re going to mount this series comeback and make the fans from 17 states happy.
