The Colorado Rockies started the week by sweeping a double-header against the New York Mets, but sadly managed just one more win through the rest of it.
During the week, the month of April drew to a close. Their 13-14 record for the month was the best April the Rockies have managed since 2022—where they went 12-9—which was the last time they managed double-digit wins. In 2025, the Rockies were just 4-26 in April.
Unfortunately, the Rockies hit the month of May like a brick wall when the red-hot Atlanta
Braves came to town. A bullpen meltdown on Friday saw the Rockies blow what was at one point a 6-0 lead while a rare dud from Chase Dollander and a failure to launch on offense saw the Rockies get blown out on Saturday.
But hey, after this, things can only get better.
Right?

Saturday’s ballgame saw the opener gambit for Chase Dollander backfire. Brennan Bernardino recorded just two outs and allowed two runs to score before Dollander got the call to come in. However, Dollander also struggled and gave up six more runs against a potent Braves offense. Would you continue to use an opener with Dollander operating largely in a bulk role—which has been fairly successful so far—or would you officially move Dollander back to the rotation?
