Rockies’ starter Jose Urena rocked — again — in 10-5 loss to Nationals

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:16:40 GMT

The Rockies’ thin starting pitching corps was undoubtedly the team’s weakest link entering the season. An ugly 10-5 loss to the Nationals on Friday night at Coors Field offered proof of that.One game after lefty Kyle Freeland pitched a gem in the Rockies’ 1-0 victory, right-hander Jose Urena melted down and was gone in the third inning. The drop-off from Freeland to Urena was striking and Urena was greeted with a smattering of boos from the crowd of 30,869.The Rockies, as they are apt to do in LoDo, rallied late, scoring three runs in the seventh against Washington’s vulnerable bullpen. The big hits were a run-scoring double by rookie shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and an RBI single by Kris Bryant to score Tovar. Bryant finished 1-for-4, extending his hitting streak to eight games.Washington, however, came back with two runs in the eighth against reliever Dinelson Lamet,  who served up a double to Joey Meneses and RBIs singles to Dominic Smith and Keibert Ruiz.

East play-in field set, Embiid poised to win scoring title

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:16:40 GMT

The Eastern Conference play-in tournament matchups are set, as are the top four seeds in the Western Conference.Also apparently decided: The NBA’s scoring race.Brooklyn sealed the No. 6 seed in the East on Friday night, which locked Miami into No. 7 and the play-in tournament. The Nets will play Philadelphia in Round 1 of the playoffs — meaning Brooklyn will be up against a soon-to-be two-time scoring champion.Philadelphia center Joel Embiid — he didn’t play in Friday’s overtime win over Atlanta and there’s no need for him to in the 76ers’ regular-season finale on Sunday, either — will almost certainly finish the season averaging 33.1 points.The only player who had a realistic chance entering Friday to catch him was Dallas’ Luka Doncic. But he played sparingly Friday, changed into street clothes at halftime of the Mavericks’ loss to Chicago — one that eliminated Dallas from postseason contention and assured Oklahoma City the No. 10 spot in the play-in tournament.
