DENVER — All Wynton Bernard had to do was step to the plate on Friday night. Regardless of his performance, he’d already earned the admiration and respect of the Colorado faithful.
After 11 seasons grappling in the minors, Bernard’s major league debut on Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks somewhat overshadowed the outcome of the game — a 5-3 Rockies win.
It helped, of course, that Bernard was integral to the win, improving Colorado’s record to 51-64. Dinelson Lamet earned the win in relief, and Carlos Estevez sealed it with a save.
