Mar 29, 2026; Miami, Florida, USA; Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jose Quintana (62) delivers a pitch against the Miami Marlins during the first inning at loanDepot Park. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images | Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Riding a two-game winning streak, the Rockies (9-13) will take on the Dodgers (15-6) today to see if they can win their third series of the season. After falling 7-1 to L.A. on Friday, the Rockies have won the last two showdowns 4-3 and 9-6.LHP Jose Quintana (0-1, 5.63 ERA) will be on the mound for Colorado, hoping to rebound from his last start.
Quintana has struggled in his two starts this season. In his first outing vs. Miami, he gave up two runs on four hits with four walks in 4.1 innings in a no-decision in a 4-3 loss.
Following that start, Quintana spent time on the 15-day IL with a strained hamstring. When he returned on April 15, his command issues remained as he walked the first three batters he faced and gave up two runs in the first inning. He only lasted 3.2 innings, giving up three runs (one homer) on three runs with four walks and one strikeout in Houston’s 3-1 victory.Quintana last faced the Dodgers on Oct. 17, 2025 as a Milwaukee Brewer in the fourth game of the National League Championship Series when he gave up three runs in two innings, including a first-inning homer to Shohei Ohtani, in a 5-1 loss that sent L.A. to the World Series.The Rockies will face lefty Justin Wrobleski (2-0, 2.12 ERA).
Wrobleski is in his third MLB season and off to a hot start in 2026. The 25-year-old mostly worked out of the bullpen last season with 22 of his 24 appearances coming in relief. Wrobleski pitched in relief in his first appearance this year, but was moved to the rotation due to injuries to starters like Blake Snell and Gavin Stone.
Wrobleski earned his first win when he held Toronto to one run on two hits with four walks and two strikeouts in five innings before putting up eight scoreless innings with two hits, two strikeouts and no walks on April 13 vs. the Mets.The Rockies are 6-3 at Coors Field on the season heading into the series finale with the Dodgers and in the middle of a seven-game homestand that includes hosting the Padres starting Tuesday.
