Colorado Rockies right-hander Ryan Feltner pitched a gem Thursday night and C.J. Cron hit a first-inning homer as Rockies beat the Phillies 5-0 to snap an eight-game losing streak.
The Rockies’ right-hander pitched a gem Thursday night and got an early boost from C.J. Cron in the Rockies’ 5-0 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The victory snapped Colorado’s eight-game losing skid, its longest losing streak since dropping nine straight from Aug. 27-Sept. 4, 2019.
But the right-hander stayed solidly on track Thursday, pitching 5 2/3 scoreless innings and limiting the Phillies to three hits while fanning six and walking three. Phillies left-hander Matt Strahm baffled the Rockies, hence his 11 strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings, but he couldn’t fool Cron with a 3-1 slider in the first inning. Cron crushed the pitch for a two-run, line-drive homer to left, scoring Jurickson Profar who led off the game with a walk. It was Cron’s fifth home run.
