The Colorado Rockies lost their starting pitcher and second baseman to injures in the first three innings of Thursday’s home game with the San Diego Padres in Denver.
Right-hander Ryan Feltner departed after two innings with right triceps tightness. Feltner, 29, worked a 1-2-3 first inning before allowing two runs on two hits and a walk in the second. He is 1-1 in five starts with a 6.30 ERA and was replaced by right-hander Zach Agnos.
Willi Castro went 0-for-1 with a walk in the second inning before being replaced by Tyler Freeman before the top of the fourth inning. Castro, who turns 29 on Friday, was diagnosed with right knee soreness. He is batting .246 with a homer and nine RBI this season.
At the time of both players’ departures, Colorado owned a 5-2 lead in the rubber game of the three-game series.
