Rockies 8, Giants 3: Feltner Shuts Out SF in Return, McCarthy Drives in Four

The lead

May 30, 2026 - Denver - Ryan Feltner pitched six scoreless innings in his return from the injured list, Jake McCarthy had a two-run homer and four RBI, and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Francisco Giants 8-3 to take the series, per the Associated Press recap on CBS Sports.

Colorado had 14 hits a night after Friday's walk-off. Feltner threw 63 pitches—41 strikes—in his first start since April 24 with right ulnar nerve inflammation.

How the game turned

McCarthy's two-run homer and two RBI singles built an early lead. Kyle Karros homered as a pinch hitter in the seventh. Drew Gilbert homered in the eighth for San Francisco's final runs after Bryce Eldridge doubled.

Feltner allowed four hits with two strikeouts and no walks. Adrian Houser (2-5) took the loss. The Rockies won back-to-back after a five-game skid.

Pitching and matchup notes

Feltner got a first-pitch strike on 11 of 15 batters through five innings, per Yahoo Sports. Ezequiel Tovar made a key defensive play up the middle in the first.

AthX Engine graded Colorado at 16 team FP with Feltner at 20 pitching FP and McCarthy at 16 hitting FP.

Bats that changed the board

McCarthy's four-RBI night led a lineup that punished a Giants staff still reeling from Friday's ninth-inning collapse. San Francisco would answer Sunday with an offensive explosion of its own at Coors.

AthX Engine fantasy angle

20 pitching FP plus 16 hitting FP from McCarthy is a textbook AthX Engine Coors split—pitching dominance and table-setting from the same lineup. Daily scoring remains separate from dynamic pricing.

What comes next

Sunday's series finale followed at Coors Field, per AP.
