Can Rockies Secure 42nd Win Against Angels Tonight?

DENVER, Colorado — The Colorado Rockies are looking to collect their 42nd win of the season as they face the Los Angeles Angels tonight at Coors Field. The game marks the start of a three-game series for the Rockies during their final homestand of the year.

Right-hander Bradley Blalock (1-5, 9.00 ERA) takes the mound for the Rockies. Blalock has struggled in his recent outings, allowing at least two home runs in three of his last four games. He is attempting to turn around his rough season, especially at Coors Field, where he has a higher earned run average than when pitching on the road.

Tonight’s challenge includes pitching against a formidable Angels lineup that has hit well this season. Blalock has never faced the Angels before, and this may work in his favor. Meanwhile, his opponent, Mitch Farris (1-1, 4.80 ERA), will also be making his first career start against a National League team.

Farris is freshly off a difficult appearance where he struggled against the opposing hitters. He relies on a fastball that peaks at around 91-92 mph, complemented by a slider and a changeup. Questions remain about how these pitches will perform at the high elevation of Denver.

Fans should keep an eye on rookie Blaine Crim, who is showing promise this season. Crim’s hitting ability could lead to a potential starting spot for him next season as the Rockies aim for a strong finish to 2025.

The game starts at 6:10 p.m. MDT. Fans can catch the action on Rockies.tv or listen on KOA 850 AM/94.1 FM. Spanish radio is available on KNRV 1150.
