On the day the All-Stars are announced, the Colorado Rockies will look to sweep the Kansas City Royals. This will also conclude their final homestand of the first half. This series marks their first series win since taking two of three against the Cleveland Guardians on May 27-29 at Coors Field and if they are able to sweep, it will be their first since the Texas Rangers series from May 10-12 (which did kick off that exciting seven-game winning streak...).
Taking the mound for the Rockies today is 26-year-old rookie right-hander Tanner Gordon, who is making his MLB debut.
