TV: ATTRM

Radio: 850 AM/94.1 FM Feltner, called up from Triple-a Albuquerqu­e, will make a spot start while the Rockies wait for Antonio Senzatela to return to the rotation from the injured list. Feltner will make his second start of 2022, his first start at PNC Park and his fourth career big- league start. He last pitched on April 27 at Philadelph­ia, allowing four runs on seven hits over five innings. The right- hander pitched well at Triple-a, going 4-1 with a 3.76 ERA, 48 strikeouts and 12 walks in eight starts.

Thompson, 28, has never faced the Rockies. He’s making his eighth start (ninth appearance) of the season. In his last outing, he allowed one run on five hits in five innings but lost a 5-3 decision to St. Louis. In the start prior to that, he gave up just one hit and pitched six scoreless innings in a win over Cincinnati.

Trending: Connor Joe, who hit a game- winning single Tuesday night, has reached base in 21 straight games, the best streak of his career. He has reached base in 37 of his 39 games this season.

At issue: Charlie Blackmon, who went 1- for-4 Tuesday night, is batting just .218 this season, and has hit .176 in May.
