On Saturday night, the Kid Rox had a fantastic game against the Orioles at Coors Field, winning 7-5. One of the highlights of the game was rookie right fielder Jordan Beck's impressive performance. In the eighth inning, with the score tied, Beck came through with a clutch RBI single to drive in Nolan Jones, who had just hit a double. Beck then showed off his speed by stealing third base, and rookie catcher Drew Romo brought him home with an infield groundout. Romo had a great game as well, driving in three runs.
It wasn't an easy win for the Rockies, as veteran right-hander Tyler Kinley had a tough time in the ninth inning. He walked Cedrick Mullins, threw a wild pitch, and hit Gunner Henderson, putting himself in a tough spot. However, he managed to strike out three batters, including Adley Rutschmnan, to end the game and secure his eighth save of the season.
The Rockies also had some unsung heroes in rookie relievers Luis Peralta, Seth Halvorsen, and Jeff Criswell, who combined for 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Criswell even recorded his first career victory. In the seventh inning, Colorado had a chance to take the lead, but they couldn't capitalize. Ezequiel Tovar and Ryan McMahon drew walks, but Yennier Cano, the Orioles' reliever, struck out Brenton Doyle and got Brendan Rodgers to ground out.
Unfortunately, the Rockies have been struggling to find their footing with starting pitcher Ryan Feltner. The hard-throwing right-hander had a solid start, keeping the Orioles on their toes for the first three innings. However, things took a turn in the fourth inning, and by the fifth, Feltner's performance had gone downhill. The Orioles managed to get on the board with a two-run homer by Anthony Santander, following an infield hit by Rutschman.
Feltner's erratic fifth inning tied the game 5-5 for the Orioles. Eloy Jimenez started the inning with a 441-foot homer, and Feltner continued to struggle, giving up a single to Jackson Holliday and hitting Ramon Urias. With two outs, he walked Rutschman, loading the bases. Feltner desperately needed a big pitch to get out of the jam, but unfortunately, he didn't get it. Ryan O'Hearn hit a two-run single, and Feltner's night was over. Since April 10, he hasn't been able to secure a victory.
In the second inning, the Rockies took an early lead of 3-0, thanks to a leadoff double by Brenton Doyle and an RBI single by Rodgers. Then, Romo hit a two-run double into the left field. In the fourth inning, Charlie Blackmon added to the Rockies' lead with a two-run triple. The Orioles did manage to score a couple of runs, but in the end, the Rockies came out on top with a well-deserved victory.
