Downing-Imagn Images After a complete victory against the San Diego Padres last night, the Colorado Rockies entered this afternoon’s game with the chance for a series win. Things were going great for the most part… until they weren’t. Multiple injuries occurred early in the game, but the Rockies persevered and carried a three-run lead into the top of the ninth inning.

Unfortunately, a spectacular blow-up in said ninth inning led to the Rockies losing the game by two and dropping the series to the Padres. Injuries may test the Rockies’ depth The Rockies had two players depart the game early due to injury this afternoon. Most notably, right-handed pitcher and today’s starter Ryan Feltner was pulled after just two innings.

Feltner threw 40 pitches and allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk—including a double—in the second inning. Felter was later announced to have right triceps tightness. Manager Warren Schaeffer mentioned after the game that the triceps tightness caused numbness in his fingers.
