The good news: Sandy Alcantara doesn’t pitch against the Rockies in this series.
The bad news: a Miami sweep is still on the table.
The Marlins have outscored the Rockies 16-12 in the first two games of this three-game set in Miami. After a three-game weekend sweep of San Diego, the Rockies find themselves in similar territory as last week, looking to salvage a series with a lone Thursday win.
Kyle Freeland will toe the mound for the Rockies, five days removed from a start where he matched a season-high seven innings. He allowed four runs to the Padres in that outing, striking out zero but throwing just 82 pitches.
