The Rockies offense has gone strangely dormant over the last three games, scoring just four runs total. They have their work cut out for them if they want to change that tonight in Tampa Bay.
The Rockies will face reigning AL Cy Young award winner Blake Snell of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rockies will counter with their own Cy Young contender, Kyle Freeland. One might suspect that such a high caliber pitching match-up would lead to a premium on runs, but we all know the saying.
Freeland allowed a run on two hits and a walk in seven innings of work on Thursday against the Marlins; the Rockies went on to win 6-3.
