Michael Lorenzen

Michael Lorenzen allowed two runs on five hits in five innings on Tuesday, but the Rockies lost to the Pirates, 3-1. The veteran walked two and struck out five.

Fantasy Impact

Lorenzen pitched well enough to deserve a better fate on Tuesday, but had the unenviable task of going up against Paul Skenes in Pittsburgh. Lorenzen performed well, allowing two runs or fewer for just the third time in nine starts this season. The veteran is struggling in his first year with the Rockies, pitching to a 2-5 record with a 6.55 ERA and a 1.84 WHIP in 44 innings. He ranks last in the National League, among qualified pitchers, in both ERA and WHIP and has allowed opponents to hit .347 off of him (67 hits in 44 innings). He's scheduled to get the ball again on Sunday at home against Arizona.

Michael Lorenzen allowed seven runs on 11 hits over five innings with two strikeouts and three walks in a loss on Wednesday against the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Lorenzen allowed a leadoff home run to Juan Soto to open the game and it only continued to go downhill the rest of the night for him. He remains off the fantasy radar.

Tuesday’s contest between the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies has been postponed due to inclement weather the club announced.

Fantasy Impact

The originally scheduled contest has been moved to Thursday May 7.

Michael Lorenzen went 5.1 innings on Thursday and allowed four runs on four hits, walked three, and struck out five. He dropped to 2-3 on the season in Colorado's 6-4 loss to Cincinnati.

Fantasy Impact

Lorenzen's five strikeouts were a season-high and the four hits he allowed on Thursday marked a season-low in his seven starts. However, two of the four hits he gave up left the yard which accounted for three of the four runs. The veteran righthander has been better in his last three starts, going 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA and an 11:4 K:BB ratio in 17.1 innings. All told, he will take a 2-3 record, a 6.09 ERA, and a 1.76 WHIP into his next scheduled start on Tuesday against the Mets.

Michael Lorenzen limited the Mets to one run on seven hits in seven innings on Friday as the Rockies earned a 4-3 victory in the series opener.

Fantasy Impact

Lorenzen easily had his best start in a Rockies' uniform, allowing a season-low one run while going a season-long seven innings. He hadn't pitched more than 5.2 innings in his first five starts of the year. Lorenzen did scatter seven hits and has now allowed at least seven hits in all six starts, putting his season total at an MLB-high 47 hits in just 28.2 innings. In his last two outings though, he has pitched to a 3.00 ERA in 12 innings, allowing 14 hits with a 6:1 K:BB ratio. Lorenzen evened his record at 2-2 and lowered his ERA to 5.97 on the year. He's scheduled to make his next start on Thursday in Cincinnati.
