Rockies Aim for Sweep Against Angels with Lorenzen on the Mound

DENVER, COLORADO - On May 29, 2026, Michael Lorenzen #24 of the Colorado Rockies delivered a pitch during the fourth inning against the San Francisco Giants at Coors Field. As the Rockies prepare to face the Los Angeles Angels, they are in high spirits after winning the first two games of the series. With a chance to secure a sweep, the team is eager to take their momentum into the weekend.

Lorenzen, who has struggled this season with a record of 2-7 and a 7.22 ERA, is set to take the mound against his former team. His recent performance in May has been challenging, posting an 8.87 ERA over five starts and consistently allowing five or more runs in three of those outings. Command and consistency have been elusive for Lorenzen, especially when facing the lineup a second time, leading to 22 runs and 12 walks.

In contrast, the Angels will feature rookie right-hander Walbert Ureña, who boasts a 2-4 record and a 2.44 ERA. The 22-year-old has had a promising start to his MLB career, achieving four quality starts in his eight appearances. In May, Ureña excelled with a 1.64 ERA over 33 innings, although he has experienced command issues, issuing three or more walks in four of his six starts last month.

The game is scheduled for 7:38 PM MDT, and fans can catch the action on Rockies TV or listen in on KOA 850 AM/94.1 FM. The Rockies are looking to build on their recent success as they take on Ureña and the Angels in Anaheim.
