With his outing on Wednesday night against the Boston Red Sox, Qualls made his 799th career appearance. It was a rocky one for the 13-year veteran as he surrendered four hits and three runs in his lone inning of work during Boston’s 10-3 victory over the Rockies at Fenway Park.
Qualls, who joined the Rockies in the offseason after pitching for two years for the Houston Astros, will join the 800-appearance club with his next outing. Kyle Farnsworth (893) and Francisco Rodriguez (878) are the only active pitchers with more appearances than Qualls.
