◈Colorado
Ryan Feltner (1 win, 10 losses, 4.95 ERA) is aiming for his second win of the season. In his return from injury on the 27th against Miami at home, Feltner pitched 5 innings, allowing 7 hits and 2 runs, showing that he maintains a strong home record. At his current form, he should be able to hold the opposition to around 3 runs over 5-6 innings at home. It's disappointing that Colorado's lineup only managed 3 runs, including a solo home run from Brendan Rodgers against Suarez and Dominguez, failing to carry the momentum from the previous series. It seems the difference in the level of the pitching staff cannot be ignored. The bullpen allowed 2 runs in 3 innings, and the timing of using Angel Chivilli, who continues to allow crucial runs, needs to be reevaluated.
◈Baltimore
Dean Kremer (6 wins, 9 losses, 4.31 ERA) is going for his 7th win of the season. Kremer showed a strong performance on the 26th against Houston at home, pitching 6 innings and allowing 3 runs, indicating that he has improved slightly in his pitching this August. However, pitching on the road and being a fly-ball pitcher could be weaknesses in this game. Baltimore's lineup scored 5 runs, including a go-ahead 2-run home run from Emmanuel Rivera against Gomber and Chivilli, showing that their hitting is coming back to form. It's important to see if they can improve their situational hitting, as they had 4 hits in 15 at-bats with runners in scoring position. The bullpen allowed 1 run in 2 innings and needs to show better performance.
◈Comment
In the previous game, the hitting performances of both teams varied greatly. That Colorado's lineup could not attack Suarez suggests they might struggle against Kremer as well. While Feltner has strengths at home, and Baltimore's lineup is distanced from its best batting form, as seen in the first game, the difference in the bullpen cannot be ignored. The Baltimore Orioles, with their superior roster, are closer to victory.
