Rockies 3, Brewers 1
Sunday at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick
On the mound: Right-hander Ryan Feltner was solid in his third Cactus League start, allowing one run on one hit and one walk with three strikeouts over three innings. Coming six days after he was tagged for five earned runs in one inning, Feltner’s ERA this spring is now 9.00. The bullpen didn’t allow a single run over six innings, with right-hander Jaden Hill, a 2021 second-round pick, submitting his third scoreless outing in four appearances. John Curtiss, Jalen Beeks, Nick Mears, Ty Blach and Gavin Hollowell also pitched one scoreless inning apiece.
At the plate: Second baseman Brendan Rodgers went 1 for 3 with an RBI, moving his Cactus League batting average to .348 (8-for-23). Meanwhile, Kris Bryant continues to scuffle. After going 0 for 2 with one strikeout on Sunday, the veteran outfielder/first baseman is hitting .200 (4 for 20) in Cactus League play. He is 1 for 14 with five strikeouts, two walks and one home run since the start of March.
Prospect watch: Outfield prospect Sterlin Thompson saw action with the big club for the first time in six days and made the most of it, hitting an RBI triple and scoring twice. The Longmont native is hitting .333 (4 for 12) with a .385 OBP and .968 OPS this spring.
