The reigning World Series champions got nothin’ on these Rockies.

Colorado won its first series on Saturday on its 13th try, snapping a franchise-worst drought to begin the season in that regard. In the 8-3 win over Texas, the Rockies became the last team to win a series this year, too, a day after winning consecutive games for the first time in 2024.

They did it behind a solid outing from Ryan Feltner, who allowed two runs over five-plus innings, plus a seventh-inning rally in which the Rockies batted around while scoring six runs with two outs.

There were fireworks in the bottom of the fifth, a frame that ended with Ezequiel Tovar getting thrown out at second. Tovar had the bag stolen, but over-slid it, and briefly came off the base. It looked like the tag on him might have been phantom, and Bud Black argued with home plate umpire Chad Fairchild, getting in the blue’s face.

That resulted in Black’s first ejection this season, his 11th with Colorado and the 36th of his career. Bench coach Mike Redmond took over managerial duties the rest of the evening.

Colorado proceeded to tie the game the next inning, when José Leclerc balked home Ryan McMahon. But the Rockies stranded the go-ahead run, Elias Diaz, at third base when Leclerc struck out Sean Bouchard, Jacob Stallings and Goodman.

The Rangers then grabbed the momentum and the lead right back in the seventh, when Leody Taveras launched Jake Bird’s hanging curveball 389 feet into the right-field seats to make it 3-2.

But as the rain started to come down in the seventh, David Robertson unraveled. The right-hander spelled Leclerc with two outs and Jordan Beck, who singled to start the inning, standing on second. McMahon and Diaz both singled to center as Robertson struggled to grip the ball, and finished his evening by hitting Bouchard and walking Doyle.

That loaded the bases for Stalling, who singled off Longmont native Cole Winn to bring two more runs home and push the score to 6-3. Charlie Blackmon, the hero of the series-opening win on Friday, then roped a pinch-hit double down the right-field line that scored two more runs
