They look to start the new month off with a series win as they face off against the Kansas City Royals (46-65) for game two of the three-game set.The Rockies turn to Ryan Feltner for game two. Feltner is 3-5 with a 5.73 ERA across 15 starts. In his last outing, he surrendered five earned runs in five innings of work as the Rockies fell to the Milwaukee Brewers. Feltner worked through some jams early but ultimately struggled to find the zone and allowed a fair amount of traffic. Kansas City starts Luinder Avila, entering at 5-3 with a 4.95 ERA in 11 starts and 20 total games. He has allowed three or fewer runs in his last four appearances, logging wins in two of those starts. For something to watch out for across the lineup, yesterday marked Brenton Doyles return to the club after recovering from a series of injuries. Much was made of Doyle rejoining a crowded outfield and pushing Cole Carrigg to the bench for the night. Manager Warren Schaeffer commented on the possibility of a lineup with Doyle taking center field and Carrigg shifting to a corner outfield spot, shortstop, or second base. Well get our first look at that reality tonight. Doyle remains in the lineup in center field, while Carrigg makes his first major league start at shortstop, with Ezequiel Tovar taking the night off. With about 48 hours remaining until the trade deadline, more questions will arise as we await movement from the Rockies front office. Until then, the Rockies will try to add to the Colorado Day festivities with a big win on Saturday night.
