So what happened in his latest start Thursday, when he allowed three home runs and six earned runs in 6 1/3 innings? For starters, he was pitching at Coors Field -- and not the snow-covered Coors Field we've seen for much of the season, but the one that typically accompanies 81-degree temperatures (you know, suitable baseball weather). After a couple of years of relatively fair pl...
