500 but are playing largely competent, competitive baseball. Bolstered by what has been a surprisingly strong pitching core—both from starters and in the bullpen—and the occasional outburst of offense, the Rockies successfully earned their tenth win of the season last night against the San Diego Padres in one of their most complete ballgames of the young season. For comparison, the Rockies lost 50 games last season before earning their 10th victory on June 2nd, 2025.
Now the Rockies aim to finish their homestand strong with an opportunity for a series win against the Padres this afternoon. Right-handed pitcher Ryan Feltner will be tasked with leading the effort. Feltner has had a bumpy start to his 2026 campaign.
His last start against the Padres in San Diego didn’t go as planned and he carries a 6. 00 ERA into this afternoon’s game. However, he turned in a solid performance his last time out against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
