The Rockies have been experiencing some growth spurts in their recent games, with occasional wins on the road. However, they faced a tough matchup against the red-hot Tigers team, resulting in a blowout loss on Tuesday night, followed by a defeat on Wednesday. With a current record of 54-92, the Rockies are on pace for another season of over 100 losses.
Despite the losses, there were some bright spots for the Rockies, including strong performances from Ryan McMahon, Ezequiel Tovar, and the bullpen. Tovar set a franchise record for doubles for a shortstop, showcasing his talent on the field. The Tigers, on the other hand, continued their winning streak with the best record in the majors over the last month.
Looking ahead, the Rockies are hopeful with the possible return of right-hander Antonio Senzatela from Tommy John surgery for their upcoming series against the Cubs. As for the pitching matchup for Thursday’s game, Rockies RHP Ryan Feltner will face Tigers LHP Tarik Skubal. Feltner has shown promise on the road, while Skubal has been a standout player for the Tigers this season.
In the following games, the Rockies will face the Cubs, with pitching probables including Javier Assad, Jameson Taillon, and Kyle Hendricks. Fans can sign up for Rockies Insider to stay updated on all the MLB analysis.
