Mickey Moniak went 2-for-4 and scored the Rockies’ lone run in Thursday night’s loss to the Tigers.

The Rockies actually got on the board first in the nightcap of Thursday’s doubleheader, as Moniak smacked a one-out single off of Keider Montero in the third inning, advanced to third on a single by Kyle Farmer and scored on a ground ball off the bat of Owen Miller. That would wind up being the extent of their offense in the game though. With his two-hit night, the 26-year-old outfielder is now slashing .222/.287/.424 with three homers, nine RBI and one stolen base in his first 107 plate appearances.

Tanner Gordon struggled in a losing effort against the Tigers on Thursday evening, allowing seven runs on 10 hits over his 6 1/3 innings.

Gordon walked one while striking out four opposing hitters on the night. He was up as the 27th man for Thursday’s doubleheader so his job was to give the Rockies length — meaning he had to stick around and absorb some innings after the Tigers struck for six runs in the third inning. To his credit though, he settled in nicely afterwards and the only other run he allowed came courtesy of the bullpen after Gordon exited in the seventh. He got 10 whiffs on 89 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 21 percent. He’ll be an option the next time the Rockies require a spot starter.

Brenton Doyle went 1-for-4 and swiped a base on Thursday as the Rockies fell to the Tigers in the first game of their doubleheader.

The 26-year-old outfielder led off the home half of the first inning with a single off of Casey Mize. He then swiped second base, but the Rockies were unable to cash him in from there. He has slumped a bit after a strong start to the season and is now hitting .224/.276/.374 to go with four long balls, 16 RBI and four stolen bases on the season.

Shohei Ohtani hit a solo homer in the ninth in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Rafael Devers told reporters on Thursday that he is not willing to play first base.

Devers vented his frustration with general manager Craig Breslow, telling reporters including Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic that he doesn’t understand why the team would want him to change positions again after they already asked him to do so during spring training. Perhaps he’s unaware that first baseman Triston Casas suffered a brutal season-ending knee injury and they don’t have any viable replacements. Regardless, this isn’t the type of comment that’s going to gain him any respect or admiration in the clubhouse or the front office.

Rafael Devers went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, a walk and a steal as the Red Sox topped the Rangers 5-0 on Thursday.

Devers’ steal was his first of the year., and the homer off Jacob Latz was his first versus a left-hander. He now has six homers and 25 RBI in 39 games, and he leads the AL with 29 walks.
