Angels Try to Keep Home Win Streak Going, Host the Rockies
Jose Soriano enters with a 2.65 ERA as the Angels seek a fourth straight home win and the Rockies try to stop a 10-22 road slide.
On Monday, June 1, 2026, the Los Angeles Angels host the Colorado Rockies in their first meeting this season, with right-hander Jose Soriano facing left-hander Kyle Freeland at Anaheim Stadium.
Freeland enters with a 1-6 record and 8.08 ERA after struggling through May; despite recent challenges, the left-hander has been outstanding against the Angels in five career starts, posting a 3-0 record.
Both teams arrive after recent losses, with Colorado falling 19-6 to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday and the Angels dropping a 5-2 decision to the Tampa Bay Rays; the Rockies hold a 22-38 record, while the Angels sit at 23-37.
Making his first career start against Colorado, Soriano holds a 6-4 record and 2.65 ERA; oddsmakers list the Angels at-209 and the Rockies at +173, with the over/under set at 8 1/2 runs.
This three-game series marks a critical stretch for both clubs, who are currently dealing with multiple injuries; the Angels have key players like Anthony Rendon on the 60-Day IL, while Colorado manages several roster absences.
