Feltner’s Rough Ride Ends Sweep Chances

Ryan Feltner’s strong start—22 straight batters retired—crumbled in the 4th when Seiya Suzuki launched a bases-loaded grand slam, sending the Rockies reeling. Feltner surrendered six runs in just over four innings, his ERA spiked, and the Rockies fell 9-3, missing a sweep. Though he admitted trouble feeling the ball and acknowledged altitude’s effect, he blamed the outcome—not execution. The Rockies outhit the Cubs and hit three homers, but two big blasts by Chicago proved decisive. Brett Sullivan had his first career multi-homer game, and rookie Cole Carrigg smashed his first big league homer, joining elite company with a triple and homer in his first three games. The Rockies loaded the bases in the 6th but couldn’t score, while Ezequiel Tovar struck out three times in high-leverage situations. Manager Schaeffer noted Tovar’s struggles with breaking balls down and away, but emphasized his development. The Rockies now turn to their series against the A’s, with key pitching matchups set for the weekend. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
