The 6-2 Colorado Rockies will look to keep their hot spring going against the Kansas City Royals this afternoon. Zac Veen hit a 447-foot walk-off homer to right center field to seal the 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres yesterday and extend their win streak to five games, but today’s outfield will feature Jake McCarthy in right field, Jordan Beck in left and Cole Carrigg in center.
“The reason for that today, if I’m being candid, is because Beck has not played left field yet,” Warren Schaeffer said before the game, “so he needs to be proficient in both this season. If that duo (Beck and McCarthy) is in there, it’s probably most likely going to to be McCarthy in left and Beck in right, but it’s about reps here in spring training and getting that in.”
Right-hander Michael Lorenzen is taking the ball for the Rockies today in his second Cactus League start and first against his old team. In his last outing, Lorenzen pitched one inning and allowed just one hit on nine pitches with a strikeout.
Lorenzen will face his former teammate, Royals’ veteran right-hander Seth Lugo, also making his second Cactus League start. In his outing against the Chicago Cubs, Lugo pitched two innings and allowed two hits on 27 pitches with one strikeout.
