Rockies’ numbers aren’t pretty as they begin homestand vs. Diamondbacks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:08:48 GMT

CLEVELAND — By winning two of three games here from the Guardians, the Rockies provided a flicker of hope that things will get better.Specifically, they received solid starts from right-hander Ryan Feltner (six innings, one run, five hits, six strikeouts, no walks) and left-hander Austin Gomber (five innings, no runs, three hits, three strikeouts, three walks). They also received solid work from their bullpen. Plus, they got an enticing glimpse of centerfielder Brenton Doyle’s potential. He made his major league debut in the first game of the Cleveland series and went 3-for-11 with a double and two steals over his first three games. He showed plus-speed on the bases and in the outfield.“To have that element of speed — he brings the power element, too — that’s a different type of addition to an offense,” manager Bud Black said. “We needed a little spark, and he was able to provide that with the stolen base.

You stand up in defense of your community and you … stand for the principles that they elected you to stand for.”But some were not making it easy for her. Shortly after she set up her computer, on a couch across from the snack bar just outside the main chamber of the House, Speaker Mark Regier approached her and told her that she wasn’t permitted to work there.
