St. Louis had not announced its starters for the series yet (“The Cardinals, as you can see, have not named their starters for this series”), which adds uncertainty to how matchups could shape up across the three games.
The Colorado Rockies host the St. Louis Cardinals for a three-game series starting Friday night at Coors Field, looking to build on back-to-back wins. Sports Yahoo reports the Cardinals arrive at .500 (70-70), sitting 3.5 games out of an NL Wild Card spot, while Colorado aims to avoid reaching 100 losses after an extra day of rest on Thursday.
Both teams are stumbling into the matchup with identical recent form — each going 4-6 over their last 10 games before winning their last two. Colorado manager Warren Schaeffer said the focus is on the current game, not the playoff picture. Roundtable notes that starting pitcher Ryan Feltner will take the mound for the Rockies as St. Louis has not yet announced its starters for the series.
Rockies Fighting to Stay Below 100 Losses
Colorado has breathing room in the loss column. The team can afford 13 more defeats before hitting the century mark, giving them some cushion as September unfolds. Despite a difficult 2025 season, the Rockies have shown modest improvement lately with their two-game winning streak heading into this series.
Run Support Critical for Colorado Pitchers
Rockies bats must deliver behind the mound. Hitters like TJ Rumfield, Hunter Goodman, and Mickey Moniak will be relied upon to generate runs for starter Ryan Feltner and the rotation. The offense has been inconsistent this season, making Friday's matchup a chance to prove they can support their pitchers consistently.
Cardinals' Playoff Push Enters Final Month
St. Louis enters September needing wins to climb back into a Wild Card position. Being .500 at 70-70 leaves the Cardinals little room for error — every game matters in the race for that third spot. A series win at Coors Field would represent significant progress toward staying alive in October contention.
Uncertainty Sets Up Intriguing Three-Game Matchup
The Cardinals have not named their starting pitchers for games two and three, creating matchup unpredictability for the Rockies. This delay leaves Colorado's lineup adjustments up in the air. Friday night's game with Feltner on the mound will set the tone for a series that could shift momentum for both teams heading into the final weeks.
