One less game in April for Trevor Story. One less Johnthan Banks Jerseyopportunity to match - maybe even break - a rookie homer record for the month. The game between Colorado and Pittsburgh on Thursday was postponed because of rain and snow. And while Story wasn't in the starting lineup, the Rockies shortstop could've entered as a pinch hitter and he certainly does have the flair for the dramatic these days. Story has nine http://www.buccaneersofficialauthentic.com/Authentic-Kadeem-Edwards-Jerseyhomers this season, one shy of the rookie mark set by Chicago White Sox slugger Jose Abreu in 2014. Not that he's given this mark any sort of thought. ''Just worried about winning,'' said Story, who is hitting .241. Story became the first major leaguer to homer in each of his first four games. http://www.buccaneersofficialauthentic.com/Authentic-Keith-Tandy-JerseyHe also is the first player to hit seven homers over his first six games. ''I don't think about it at all,'' said Story, who looked at a called third strike that ended Wednesday's 12-inning loss to Pittsburgh. ''I feel good about the at-bats I've taken. Just trying to compete as best as I can.'' There were no complaints from Jack Butler JerseyColorado manager Walt Weiss with the postponement. His overtaxed bullpen can use the rest. The starters haven't exactly been stellar the last two days for the Rockies, lasting a combined 6 2/3 innings. Given the Rockies played 12 innings Wednesday, their relievers have thrown 14 1/3 innings over the past two games. That's a lot of tired arms. This break also couldn't come at a better time given that http://www.steelersnflofficialonline.com/Authentic-Jack-Ham-Jerseythe Rockies have lost eight straight home games against the Pirates. ''I'm not going to kick and scream if we don't play, quite frankly,'' said Weiss as his team finished a 1-5 homestand. A makeup date was not announced. This kind of weather descending on the city doesn't surprise Pirates manager Clint Hurdle.
