EDGE Analysis
Cron was hit in the head by a pitch in the top of the seventh inning, but the ball appeared to hit his helmet. The 31-year-old was able to walk to first base, but the Rockies chose to remove him from the game following the incident. Prior to his departure, he went 0-for-2 with a run and a strikeout. It's not yet clear whether the injury will limit his availability going forward.

Cron went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Cron's solo shot in the seventh inning off Chris Flexen was all the offense the Rockies could muster in this game, but the slugging first baseman has been excellent at the plate of late. He has homered in back-to-back games for the second time this month and has gone yard in five of his last eight contests while hitting safely in all but one of those contests. He's hitting .266 this month across 60 at-bats.
