The Colorado Rockies are looking to end a two-game losing streak as they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in their 11th spring training game of the season. Currently holding a record of 6-4, the Rockies are eager to turn things around against the Dodgers, who come into the matchup with a 7-3 record.

On the mound for the Rockies is Jimmy Herget, a standout reliever aiming to secure a spot in the starting rotation. Herget has made two appearances this spring, including one start, and boasts an impressive 0.00 ERA, having thrown two scoreless and hitless innings with no walks and two strikeouts. This will be his third outing in the Cactus League, and the Rockies are hopeful he can continue his strong performance.

The Dodgers will counter with Ryder Ryan, a right-handed pitcher who holds a 3.00 ERA. The 30-year-old was drafted in 2016 and made his MLB debut with the Mariners in 2023. After a stint with the Pirates’ minor league system, Ryan signed a Minor League deal with the Dodgers in January, looking to make a mark this spring.

The Rockies are coming off a tough weekend, having lost 8-3 to Cleveland and 16-3 to Kansas City. In those two games, Colorado’s pitchers struggled significantly, walking 19 batters and allowing 23 hits. As they prepare for today’s game, the Rockies will be looking to tighten their pitching and find their rhythm.

In roster news, the Rockies made several moves on Monday, announcing the reassignment of catchers Bryant Betancourt and Cole Messina, right-handed pitcher Brayan Castillo, and outfielder Jared Thomas to Minor League camp. This brings the active roster down to 56 players, including 16 non-roster invitees.

Additionally, the Rockies revealed their 2025 Minor League award winners on Monday, highlighting the talent within their organization.

First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m. MDT, with coverage available on Rockies.TV and the Rockies Radio Network at 850 AM/94.1 FM, starting with the pregame show at 1 p.m.
