The first pitch Peter Lambert threw Friday night was a 90.6 mph meatball over the heart of the plate. White Sox shortstop Elvis Andrus smacked his lips, took a big swing and sent the ball 439 feet to center for a leadoff homer.He was cushioned by a prolific night from the Rockies’ offense, as well as stellar backing from his defense, Lambert was superb in the Rockies 14-1 victory at Coors Field.

Over seven innings, Lambert allowed one run on four hits, struck out five and walked just one. He needed 85 pitches to complete his night’s work. Friday marked just the second time in Lambert’s injury-interrupted career that he pitched seven innings, and the first time since he made his major-league debut on June 6, 2019, against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. In that impressive debut, Lambert also allowed one run on four hits, but he struck out nine in that game.Prior to the game, manager Bud Black said he wanted Lambert to start using his changeup more. Early on, Lambert did exactly that.

Colorado wasted no time getting Lambert a comfy lead. In its five-run first against right-hander Michael Kopech, the Rockies got a two-run homer from rookie shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and another two-run blast from catcher Elias Diaz . Diaz also stole a base in the fifth inning, just the second stolen base of his career and first since June 7, 2017, when he played for the Pirates.
