1:010.1 homers. Injuries are piling up for both squads, hitting their pitching staffs hard. Rockies have guys like Tyler Freeman, day-to-day, undisclosed. Ryan Feltner also day-to-day with a glute issue, plus several on the IL for elbows, shoulders and backs. Astros missing Hunter Brown on the 15-day with shoulder, a bunch on elbow ILs, and Josh Hayder with biceps trouble. Early this season, both teams dealing with thin rotations, so expect bullpans to see heavy action in this opener at course field where runs fly. Feltner looks sharp in his last outing, low walks, Bolton steady with strikeouts. Rockies desperate for a home win to turn things around, but Astros power could overwhelm in the thin air, keep an eye on those extra bass knocks as the series kicks off.
