Two of the brightest MLB pitching prospects squared off at Coors Field.

The Rockies’ Chase Dollander vs. the Tigers’ Jackson Jobe.

Advantage: Detroit.

The Tigers rallied on Wednesday night from an early deficit to win, 8-6 in 10 innings, over the lowly Rockies. Colorado moved to 6-29 on the season to begin a six-game homestand. Dollander — the organization’s top pitching prospect — started strong with six consecutive outs. It wouldn’t last.

Dollander unraveled with poor command.

“I wouldn’t say I felt sharp,” Dollander said. “I was definitely battling the same thing, but I was able to just be athletic and get the ball in the strike zone. Here, that’s not going to fly. You have to be on your stuff most of the time.”

The Rockies pulled him in the fourth with no outs and the bases loaded. Dollander’s night ended with six earned runs on five hits with three walks. Meanwhile, Jobe — ranked No. 3 on the MLB’s Top 100 prospects list — also struggled for Detroit. He gave up six earned runs over 3-2/3 innings.

Dollander entered the game optimistic he fully recovered from a cracked right-hand fingernail from his previous start. Manager Bud Black told reporters pregame that Dollander is “good to go” with “a full arsenal of manicurist equipment in the training room.”

Black also lauded Dollander’s resilience.

“What he has shown a couple of different times this year is the ability to get out of trouble with a strikeout. He’s got strikeout stuff,” Black continued. “What he’s realizing now is that the ability to throw strikes is important. It’s hard to work from behind in the count consistently. He’s realized that location of the fastball is more imperative in the big leagues than it is in the minors.”

Dollander failed to record a strikeout on Wednesday against the Tigers. He issued leadoff walks in the third and fourth innings. The University of Tennessee product is still learning on his MLB journey.

“I probably have to look at video,” Dollander said. “Honestly, kind of toward the end of my few innings … I was just kind of losing it. I don’t know why. I just have to look at video and see what’s going on.”

Briefly

DH Kris Bryant will travel to Los Angeles on Thursday for an ablation procedure to help ease pain in his lower back, Black confirmed. Bryant has been on the injured list since April 13. Black said: “I’m not a doctor. But an ablation instrument sort of cauterizes nerves. It’s a pretty minimally invasive procedure.” … RHP Tanner Gordon will start the second game Thursday of the doubleheader against Detroit, Black said. … Black added that injured SS Ezequiel Tovar (left hip) is taking grounders and transitioned Wednesday to hitting in the cage.

Tigers 8, Rockies 6 (10 innings)

What happened: Colorado opened a six-game homestand against the Tigers and Padres with an extra-innings loss to Detroit.

On the mound: Starting right-hander Chase Dollander struggled with command and was pulled in the fourth inning. Reliever Zach Agnos took the loss, however, his two allowed runs were unearned after a Rockies’ fielding error by Jordan Beck.

At the plate: Third baseman Ryan McMahon continued his recent hot streak with four hits (single, two doubles and a home run). First baseman Michael Toglia also ripped two doubles and a homer. Left fielder Jordan Beck contributed two hits. But outfielder Brenton Doyle lined out with the bases loaded to close out the eighth. The Rockies finished a meager 2 of 13 with runners in scoring position.
