After last nights loss, the Rockies will now look to tie up the inter-divisional series against the Mariners. The big news coming into today’s game is all about the return of Rockies starter Austin Gomber. Gomber had been on the IL since June 20th as he dealt with left forearm tightness. Today he is back and he’ll now try to propel the Rockies to their second win since the All-Star break before heading out on the road.
On the mound today for Seattle will be the right hander Keynan Middleton (0-0, 3.75 ERA). Middleton is a reliever who’s being used as an opener.
