Rockies Fall in Series Opener

The Rockies’ bid for a series sweep ended in dramatic fashion as the Cubs crushed them 9-3, but not before backup catcher Brett Sullivan lit up the scoreboard with two homers and rookie Cole Carrigg added a solo shot. Despite a strong start by Ryan Feltner — who retired 22 straight batters — a grand slam by Seiya Suzuki in the fourth unraveled his command, leading to six runs and his early exit. The bullpen couldn’t hold off Chicago’s late-inning surge, and even a ninth-inning homer from Sullivan couldn’t turn the tide. Now, Colorado heads to Vegas to face the Athletics, with no starter announced yet — while Gage Jump takes the mound for the A’s at 8:05 PM MT.
