Colorado Rockies vs. Boston Red Sox game discussion: Jake Bennett vs. Ryan Feltner

Fresh off a series win against Pittsburgh, the Rockies (30-48) will now host the Boston Red Sox (31-43) Monday through Wednesday, aiming for their seventh series win of 2026. Colorado’s seven series wins pre-All-Star are their most since winning 10 first-half series in 2023.

The matchup is a showdown between the National League’s worst team vs. the bottom dweller of the American League. B0th are 4-6 in their last 10 games.

RHP Ryan Feltner (2-2, 5.05) will be on the mound tonight for the Rockies. This will be Feltner’s fifth start since returning from the IL (right ulnar nerve inflammation) on May 30. Feltner has gone 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA and 16 strikeouts and eight walks in 21 innings. The Rockies have gone 2-2 in his starts.

LHP Jake Bennett (1-3, 4.79) will get the start for Boston. Bennett, 25, was a second-round pick in the 2022 MLB Draft by the Washington Nationals. He was traded to Boston in December and made his MLB debut on May 1. In four starts, he’s gone five or 5.1 innings in each outing with 13 strikeouts, five walks with one homer.

The Rockies enter the season with a 10-8 record in interleague play and with a 14-18 all-time record against Boston (7-6 at Coors Field). The Rockies were swept by the Red Sox last season at Fenway Park.

Former Rockie Trevor Story is currently on the 60-IL (since June 4) with a sports hernia.
