The Colorado Rockies are set to open their home opener against the Philadelphia Phillies in Denver. The Rockies secured their first series victory in 2026 by beating Toronto 2-1 in 10 innings. Michael Lorenzen, who signed a one-year deal with the Rockies in January, will start against Aaron Nola, who has faced Philadelphia 10 times in his career. The team is trying to avoid becoming the fifth MLB club to record four consecutive 100-loss seasons. Rookie outfielder Justin Crawford has been off to a strong start in the season, performing well on the field.
