Victor Vodnik News: Takes loss against Rays

Vodnik (0-1) allowed a solo home run over one inning and took the loss Friday against the Rays as the Rockies fell 3-2. He struck out one.

Vodnik is a candidate to close games out for the Rockies, but his 2025 debut will do him no favors in winning that role. Outfielder Kameron Misner jumped on the first pitch he saw from Vodnik and sent it over the fence in right for a walk-off winner for the Rays in their first game at Steinbrenner Field. Vodnik had nine saves in 2024 but also blew six save chances.
