Bradley Zimmer continued his strong start to Cactus League play on Tuesday, going 1-for-2 with a double and a walk in a losing effort against the Royals.
Zimmer drew a start in center field for the Rockies on Tuesday afternoon. After going down on strikes in his first at-bat, the 31-year-old outfielder worked a one-out walk from Jake Brentz in the fourth inning, but the Rockies couldn’t cash him in. He then smacked a one-out double off of Matt Sauer in the sixth inning but wound up stranded at third. Zimmer is now hitting .556 (5-for-9) with a run scored and a stolen base through his first four Cactus League contests. If he keeps it up, he just may find himself on the squad’s Opening Day roster.
