Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:43:26 GMT

There’s no crying in baseball, but what happened to Ryan Feltner on Saturday night was a crying shame.For three innings, the Rockies’ right-hander was crisp, efficient and in total command of all of his pitches. Feltner illustrated, for a small slice of the game, why manager Bud Black and the Rockies’ brass love his stuff.But …It all caved in on Feltner in the fourth inning when the Mariners sent nine men to the plate and scored five runs en route to a 9-2 laugher at T-Mobile Park.The Rockies (5-10) have lost four consecutive games and fell to 2-6 on the road.The Mariners’ fourth-inning at-bat began with a bad omen for Colorado when Eugenio Suarez muscled a leadoff, opposite-field homer to right, tying the game 1-1. The Rockies entered the night 0-9 this season when allowing at least one home run vs. a 5-0 record when not giving up a homer.Following Suarez’s long ball, Cal Raleigh reached on an infield single, but Feltner struck out Teoscar Hernan...

Liu made a par and Sung had a bogey, hitting her third over the green and past Kim’s second.“Kind of speechless right now,” Kim said. “I will let you know that my second shot on that playoff hole, that wasn’t intentional. I kind of got lucky there.”Playing alongside Sung in the final threesome, Kim shot a 4-under 68, rebounding from a bogey on the par-4 14th to birdie the last two holes. She got up and down from the front-left bunker on 18 in regulation, making a 7-footer.“I think just the birdie on 17 was definitely the big momentum changer,” said Kim, who ...
