One game into the 2025 season, the Rockies are already singing the bullpen blues.
The Rays’ Kameron Misner homered on Victor Vodnik’s first-pitch fastball of the ninth inning for a walk-off homer and a 3-2 victory.
Colorado took a 1-0 lead in the third on Ezequiel Tovar’s RBI double down the left field line off Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot to score Jordan Beck, who reached on an error and stole second.
The Rockies wasted Kyle Freeland’s fantastic start, blowing a 2-0 lead that seemed insurmountable, so long as Freeland was on the mound.
Colorado cobbled together another run in the fourth.
