After suffering their fourth loss in August last night at Coors Field, the Chicago Cubs (77-44) look to rebound in Denver against the Colorado Rockies (59-63).
The Cubs will march out Mike Montgomery to make his first start of the season with the Cubs, his third start overall in 2016. He takes the place of John Lackey in the rotation. Montgomery pitches well both at home and away, but his K/BB drastically decreases from 4.07 to 1.75 when he pitches on the road. This season for the Cubs. Montgomery has made seven relief appearances and hasn’t given up a run in his last four outings, totaling six innings.
