The Rockies
optioned Blalock to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
ANALYSISUnsurprisingly, Blalock received a demotion after he was lit up for 12 earned runs on 13 hits and two walks over just 3.2 innings during Saturday's 21-0 loss to the Padres. The Rockies still have an opening in the rotation with
Ryan Feltner (back) not ready to return from the injured list, and Triple-A righty
Tanner Gordon could be the next man up as the fifth starter.
