Ryan Feltner’s baseball education has become a school of hard knocks.
The Rockies remain enamored with the right-hander’s powerful fastball and his potential as a starting pitcher. Still, Feltner struggled again Monday night, and the Rockies were bludgeoned, 13-3, by Cincinnati at Coors Field.
“I need to figure out a better way to get outs here,” Feltner said, referring to Coors Field, where his ERA sits at 7.30 after five starts.
Kris Bryant, the oft-injured first baseman and designated hitter, was not in the starting lineup for the Rockies’ Monday night game against Cincinnati. Bryant is once again dealing with lower back issues.
Manager Bud Black said that Bryant was “a little sore” and added that Bryant was consulting with doctors and team trainers.
Bryant tweaked his back Sunday while making a twisting catch of Mookie Betts’ popup in foul territory in the eighth inning during Colorado’s 4-0 loss to the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
Bryant missed 31 games earlier in the season after he was placed on the injured list on April 17 with a strained lower back.
CLEVELAND — Beer flowed and a little blood and bruises followed. There was some baseball played in between.
On a warm spring night along Lake Erie five decades ago, a well-intended promotion meant to attract fans for the perpetually lousy Cleveland Indians turned ugly and triggered a booze-fueled riot now known as one of the most notorious events in American sports history.
On Tuesday, 10-cent beer night turns 50.
Cheers.

NEW YORK — San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano is under investigation by Major League Baseball for allegedly betting on baseball and could be subject to a lifetime ban, according to a person familiar with the probe.
MLB is looking into allegations Marcano bet on games involving the Pittsburgh Pirates while on the team’s injured list last season, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
Marcano could be the second pro athlete banned for life over sports betting this year after the NBA punished Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter in April following a league probe that found he disclosed confidential information to sports bettors and wagered on games.
It’s believed that no active MLB player has been banned for betting on baseball since 1924.
