Rockies Aim to Build Momentum Against Giants with Feltner's Return

DENVER, CO - The Colorado Rockies are looking to shift their fortunes as they prepare to face the San Francisco Giants tonight. After a rough patch that saw the team slide to a 6-19 record this month, the Rockies broke a five-game losing streak with a thrilling 8-6 walk-off victory last night.

The return of pitcher Ryan Feltner is a much-needed boost for the squad. After dealing with ulnar nerve inflammation that sidelined him for 15 days, Feltner has completed a successful rehab stint. His last MLB appearance was on April 23, where he pitched two innings against the San Diego Padres before exiting due to injury, allowing two runs on two hits. This season, he has a record of 1-1 and a 6.30 ERA across five starts.

Feltner's last minor league outing with the Albuquerque Isotopes was promising, as he allowed just one run over five innings while striking out five batters. He will face off against Giants pitcher Adrian Houser, who has struggled early in the season but has recently improved, allowing three or fewer earned runs in his last five starts. Houser holds a record of 2-4 with a 5.30 ERA this season.

The Rockies and Giants are closely matched, separated by just a game and a half at the bottom of the NL West standings. With the Rockies eager to build on last night's late-game success, they will aim to carry that momentum into tonight's matchup.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 PM MDT, and fans can catch the game on Rockies TV or listen via KOA 850 AM/94.1 FM.
