Toss out Wednesday night’s results. Michael Lorenzen believes he can pitch at Coors Field. His manager thinks so too.

The box score said otherwise: Over five innings, the Mets had 11 hits off the Rockies’ right-hander, leading to seven runs as the Mets cruised to a 10-5 win.

The announced crowd at Coors was 11,155 on a night when the temperature at first pitch was 41 degrees. That is the lowest home crowd in Rockies history. However, the Rockies said that many fans exchanged their tickets for another game after this week’s snow, postponed games, and the fact that Wednesday’s game was pushed back from a 6:40 p.m. start to a 7:20 p.m. start.

The fans who stayed away were probably glad they did, because the Rockies suffered their sixth consecutive loss, and their sweep of the Mets at Citi Field on April 24-26 seems long ago and far away.

Manager Warren Schaeffer saw a mixed bag from Lorenzen.

“That’s a lot of hits, 11, and he had three walks in there that hurt,” Schaeffer said. “Good pitch mix, but they were on him. When he threw it over the plate, they put the ball in play — whether hard sometimes or not. They made it work, so hats off to them.”

Lorenzen’s night began ominously when Juan Soto hit Lorenzen’s third pitch of the game 435 feet and into the left-centerfield seats. It was the first leadoff home run of Soto’s career.

Lorenzen said he “wasn’t making excuses,” but said he did feel like he threw decent pitches, save for a leadoff homer by Soto and a triple by MJ Melendez two batters later.

“I wouldn’t say they were on me, there was a lot of, like, 77 mph hits,” said Lorenzen, who is 2-4 with a 6.92 ERA after eight starts (nine appearances). “There was one Coors-style double in there. There were a lot of bloops that were hit over second base on changeups and sinkers.”

The right-hander, whom the Rockies signed to a one-year, $8 million contract, with a team option worth $9 million next season, owns a 9.64 ERA after four starts at Coors this season.

But Schaeffer put his full faith and trust in Lorenzen, Coors or no Coors.

“I see too small of a sample size to make a thing (out of) that one,” Schaeffer said. “The first game that he pitched against Philadelphia (nine runs on 12 hits over three innings) was a throw-away game. Michael will be fine. He wanted to come here, to pitch here specifically. He’ll figure it out.”

Lorenzen said it’s “just been kind of frustrating” for him this season.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) said crews will restripe an area of Daniel K. Inouye Highway after a deadly crash on Tuesday.

HDOT Director Ed Sniffen said crews will remove the passing zone at mile marker 26.

The announcement comes after two cars crashed at around 11 a.m. Tuesday. Hawaii Island police said Todd Matsushita, 70, tried to overtake a vehicle and slammed head-on into an SUV.

Both Matsushita and the SUV’s driver, a 34-year-old man from Virginia, died.

The two-lane highway, also known as Saddle Road, has a 60-mile-per-hour speed limit.

“It’s very clear that along this route, people are driving way too fast for the passing zones,” Sniffen said. “So we’re reconsidering whether or not we should have passing zones in about 10 of those 15 to 20 that we have out there. We may be eliminating a lot more of them.”

HDOT said they also plan to add rumble strips and vertical delineator posts every five miles and in high-risk areas.

With Idaho’s primary election coming up, which ballots are Idaho voters eligible to cast? Well, it depends.

The state leaves it up to political parties to decide whether their primary is open or closed.

Voting in Idaho: What are closed primaries?

The Republican Party has a closed primary, meaning only registered Republican voters can participate. Meanwhile, the Democratic primary is open to all registered voters, regardless of party affiliation.

Voters can change affiliation to take part in a different party’s primary, but state law requires voters to switch their affiliation no later than the 12th Friday before the primary, which in the May 2026 election has already passed.

A previously unaffiliated voter can affiliate with a party of their choice on the day of the primary and participate in its primary.

Each voter is only allowed to cast one ballot.
