The Rockies had two of their five hits in the first inning and scored a run off of Jack Leiter. Texas followed that up with three hits immediately off of Colorado starter Kyle Freeland with the third hit being a three-run home run off the bat of Josh Jung.

Several current Rockies players, including two-time Gold Glove center fielder Brenton Doyle, Gold Glove shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, and reserve outfielder Sean Bouchard, played under Schaeffer at Triple-A Albuquerque. Schaeffer received glowing reviews.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said X-rays were negative, but that the right hand “swelled up pretty good.” He said a stint on the injured list was certainly a possibility.
