Rockies chip away but can’t overcome Dodgers in 7-6 loss
Willi Castro paces the Rockies offense but rally falls short in the late innings.
The Colorado Rockies suffered a 7-6 defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field on August 18, 2026. Despite a solid offensive display and effective bullpen performance, the Rockies couldn't overcome a struggling starting pitcher. Ryan Feltner, who had previously succeeded against the Dodgers, faced a challenging task but failed to keep the game manageable.
The Dodgers capitalized on their potent lineup, scoring runs in successive innings, with Kyle Tucker and Hunter Feduccia contributing early on. Ryan Feltner allowed seven runs on eight hits, striking out only three times and walking three. The Rockies' offense fought back early, responding to the Dodgers' lead with a two-out rally in the bottom of the third inning, but ultimately fell short against the Dodgers' strong lineup.
The Rockies' bullpen played a crucial role in keeping the game close, with Parker Mushinski, Jimmy Herget, and Zach Agnos contributing strong innings. The next game in the series will see Ryan Freelander for Colorado against Roki Sasaki for the Dodgers, scheduled to start at 6:40 pm MDT.
