The Rockies’ growing pains are going to hurt.
Colorado Rockies right fielder Nolan Jones drops a fly ball hit by Arizona Diamondbacks’ Ketel Marte during the fifth inning of a baseball game Sunday, March 31, 2024, in Phoenix. What was already suspected became evident in the season’s first series, which saw the Rockies lose three of four games to the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
The critical meltdown came in the Diamondbacks’ two-run fifth inning. Although starter Ryan Feltner issued a leadoff walk to Tucker Barnhart and Barnhart stole second base, Feltner worked out of trouble. Or at least he thought he did. But left fielder Nolan Jones dropped a routine, two-out flyball hit by Ketel Marte, allowing Barnhart to score. Then Rockies killer Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ripped an RBI single into the left-field corner.
But Feltner settled in after that and pitched through the fifth inning, allowing five runs on five hits. He struck out four and walked two. Pfaadt confounded the Rockies early, striking out five of the first hitters he faced — four of them looking. Pfaadt gave up one run on five hits over five innings. He fanned six and didn’t walk a batter.Let’s just say CU Buffs guard Jaylyn Sherrod’s third foul call against Hawkeyes, Caitlin Clark was … curious
