It’s the penultimate game of the Colorado Rockies’ penultimate series with two eliminated teams playing for nothing but pride. The Rockies are squaring off against Nolan Arenado and the St. Louis Cardinals as they fight to avoid 100 losses for the second straight season. With five games left—including tonight—the Rockies must go 3-2 in order to change their fate.
Making his final start of the season for the Rockies is the left-handed Austin Gomber. Gomber enters tonight with a 4.67 ERA in 29 starts. His last time out against the Arizona Diamondbacks he made it through just two innings while giving up five earned runs on six hits—including three home runs.
