The Rockies have lost four out of five since returning from the All-Star break and will be looking to get back on track today at Coors Field with the second game of a two-game series against the White Sox.
The Rockies will face 2019 All-Star Lucas Giolito (6-6, 5.12 ERA). The righty has 104 strikeouts, which averages out to 10.2 per nine innings (compared to Antonio Senzatela’s 5.3). Giolito has faced the Rockies once in his career, but it was way back in 2016 when he was with the Washington Nationals. Colorado got the best of him, hitting two homers and scoring five runs in five innings on their way to a 5-3 win, but the only position player on the roster from that day to today is Charlie Blackmon.
