\u2014 Colorado Rockies (@Rockies) April 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n But it was worse for Ryan Feltner facing the Padres lineup, which didn\u2019t wait until the late innings to sizzle, unlike the previous two nights<\/a>. San Diego exploded for three runs off him in both the third and fourth innings, chasing him after four innings and 82 pitches and setting the stage for a 9-5 defeat<\/a> that extended the Rockies\u2019 skid to three games following a four-game winning streak.<\/p>\n M\u00e1rquez, who took what some perceived as a shot at his former team<\/a> when talking about his change in NL West addresses early in spring training, found himself in a 4-0 hole midway through the third inning, with all of the runs coming via the long ball of Moniak and Julien.<\/p>\n But three big innings were the Rockies\u2019 undoing \u2014 the third, fourth and sixth. San Diego scored three runs in each frame, but the sixth inning was the most frustrating of all, as the Padres\u2019 outburst started with a Kyle Karros error, continued with three-consecutive walks issued by reliever Kyle Karros, then culminated in Jackson Merrill\u2019s two-out line drive up the middle that skipped off the glove of a lunging Ezequiel Tovar, leading to a pair of additional runs.<\/p>\n Agnos\u2019 free passes were part of a seven-walk night from Rockies pitchers.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re not gonna see that a lot from Kyle Karros,\u201d manager Warren Schaeffer told media after the game. \u201cBut seven walks, you\u2019re not gonna win a lot of games doing that. We\u2019re priding ourselves on attacking the strike zone, and that didn\u2019t happen tonight. Pitching has been really, really good. Just a little tough on the night.\u201d<\/p>\n The Rockies brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth inning, loading the bases with two outs. But Tovar popped out to shallow center field to end the game.<\/p>\n Colorado fell to 6-9.<\/p>\n ROCKIES STARTER\u2019S REPORT<\/p>\n Ryan Feltner was part of the afore-mentioned walk issue, with three walks over his four innings of work. Two of the batters he walked eventually scored, representing one-third of the six runs he allowed. He faced the minimum just once \u2014 but that was aided by Brett Sullivan gunning down Migel Andujar in the second inning when he attempted to steal second base.<\/p>\n The death knell for Feltner was a 31-pitch fourth inning. He fell to 1-1.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think the fastball command was there. He was behind in counts. Forced to do some other things,\u201d Schaeffer said. \u201cIt\u2019s tough to pitch without your fastball.\u201d<\/p>\n BITS AND PIECES<\/p>\n IT WAS DECIDED FOR THE ROCKIES WHEN: Tovar had his game-ending, bases-loaded pop fly to shallow center field.<\/p>\n NUMBER TO NOTE: 5 \u2014 Home runs for Moniak in nine games this season since coming off the injured list as he continues his torrid start, with a .300\/.313\/.800 line.<\/p>\n WHAT\u2019S NEXT: Kyle Freeland looks for his second win of the season in his fourth start of the year. Nick Pivetta gets the call for San Diego. First pitch is at 2:10 p.m. MDT.<\/p>\n
