The Rockies suffered just their second series loss of May at the hands of Jon Gray and the Rangers yesterday. The 11-5 pounding came after Kyle Freeland couldn’t find his groove, allowing eight runs in the first two innings. The Rox rallied in the eighth and ninth, but it wasn’t enough. Today, they will look to avoid their first sweep since April 17-19 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Connor Seabold (1-0, 5.14 ERA) will take the mound for the Rockies, making his third start of the season. Seabold was originally signed as a reliever, but was called upon to replace Germán Márquez.
