2026 Colorado Rockies Schedule: Results, TV Guide, and Printable PDF

The energy returns to 20th and Blake this Friday, April 3, as the Colorado Rockies host their 34th home opener at Coors Field. After a mixed start to the season on the road, the Rockies are looking to establish momentum in front of their home crowd, beginning with a high-stakes three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Entering the home opener with a 2-4 record, Colorado is attempting to build on a positive note. The club recently secured its first series win of the year, taking two out of three games against the defending American League pennant winners, the Toronto Blue Jays. This success provided a necessary rebound following a difficult opening series where the Rockies were swept by the Miami Marlins, a stretch that concluded with a walk-off loss to Miami according to reports on the team’s early season performance.

The home opener is more than just a game; it is a celebration of the return to Denver. Fans are returning to the ballpark for the first time in seven months, with the event featuring a “Magnetic Schedule Giveaway” for those in attendance as listed in event ticketing details.

The Pitching Matchup: Lorenzen vs. Nola

The Friday clash features a compelling battle on the mound between right-handers Michael Lorenzen and Aaron Nola. For Lorenzen, this marks his first career start at Coors Field—a challenge he specifically cited as a motivator when signing with the Rockies. His first outing with the team was a struggle, as he allowed seven hits and three earned runs over 4.1 innings, finishing with a 6.23 ERA and four strikeouts.

Facing him is Philadelphia’s Aaron Nola, who too faced early-season adversity. Nola’s first start against the Texas Rangers saw him surrender three earned runs on five hits and two walks over five innings, striking out seven. Nola enters the game with a 5.40 ERA, coming off a season hampered by injuries where he posted a 5-10 record.

Roster Shifts and Injury Updates

Colorado’s rotation is currently in a state of flux. The team placed left-hander Jose Quintana on the injured list this past Thursday due to a right hamstring strain. In response, the Rockies have called up right-hander Valente Bellozo. While Bellozo is now with the active roster, the club has not yet confirmed if he will immediately slot into the starting rotation for Saturday’s game.
