Coming off a 4-1 win over the Phillies on Sunday to prevent a home opener sweep, the Rockies also have more good news in the form of Ryan Feltner being able to take the mound today.<\/p>\n
Feltner looked sharp against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31. He\u2019d thrown three scoreless innings with four strikeouts, one walk and one hit. Then he got hit with a 106.3 mph line drive comebacker to the right hip.<\/p>\n
It was a brutal flashback of sorts from 2023 when a line drive fractured Feltner\u2019s skull. Luckily, this one wasn\u2019t as serious.<\/p>\n
While it certainly hurt and Feltner\u2019s hip tightened up, meaning Feltner, 29, couldn\u2019t return for the fourth inning, he won\u2019t miss any time as he\u2019ll be on the mound today as the Rockies (3-6) begin a three-game series with the Astros (6-4).<\/p>\n
The Astors are coming off a high-scoring, 2-1 series loss to the A\u2019s where Houston outscored the A\u2019s 25-23.<\/p>\n
RHP Feltner (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will be going head-to-head against Houston RHP Cody Bolton (0-0, 3.00 ERA). Houston ace Hunter Brown (1-0, 0.84 ERA) was supposed to get the start, but Brown was placed on the 15-day IL with a shoulder strain on Sunday. Bolton has one appearance this season when he gave up a solo home run with three hits, one walk and five strikeouts on March 31 against Boston. In the 9-2 win over the Red Sox, Bolton got the save after closing out Brown\u2019s quality start, when he gave up one run on one hit with two walks and eight strikeouts) before he got hurt.<\/p>\n
The Astros have had the Rockies number over the last three seasons, going 11-3 against Colorado and outscoring the Rockies 75-43 since 2023. That includes a two-game Houston sweep in Mexico City in 2024 when the Astros outscored Colorado 20-4. Houston took the 2025 series 4-2.<\/p>\n
