RecapTanner Gordon pitched well in Friday’s Cactus League start against the Padres, allowing just one walk over two scoreless frames.
The 28-year-old hurler issued a leadoff walk to Xander Bogaerts then retired the heart of the Padres’ regular lineup in order to escape trouble in the opening inning. He then set them down in order in the second inning including a strikeout of Jake Cronenworth. Gordon threw 16 of his 25 pitches for strikes in the contest, generating just one whiff and posting a CSW of 16 percent. Even if he earns a spot in the Rockies’ Opening Day rotation, he’s unlikely to have much utility from a fantasy perspective.
