The Braves lost to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in a pitcher's duel, with Chris Sale doing something that had never been done before.

The Rockies began this season with a plan to begin to learn more heavily on youth. Centerfielder Brenton Doyle was an All-Star last year. Ezequiel Tovar is considered one of the better shortstops in the National League. Starting pitcher Chase Dollander, the No. 26 prospect in baseball, was called up early in the season, too.

Bryce Elder pitched six solid innings, Michael Harris II hit a tiebreaking double in the fifth and the Atlanta Braves beat the skidding Colorado Rockies 6-3

The Colorado Rockies ended an eight-game losing streak as Brenton Doyle hit a tiebreaking home run off reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale in the third inning of a 2-1 win over the Atlanta Braves.

Chase Dollander and three relievers combined to pitch a three-hitter, Brenton Doyle homered and the Colorado Rockies beat the Atlanta Braves 2-1 in Denver on Wednesday to snap an eight-game losing streak.

Colorado avoided becoming just the second MLB team since 1901 to lose at least 26 of its first 30 games of the season.
