Colorado Rockies (15-23) at Philadelphia Phillies (17-21) — Game Preview
Two teams under .500 meet in Philadelphia, but only one of them spent the last week looking like the better club. The Phillies took four of five before getting blown out 12-1 by the Athletics on Thursday and they sit at 17-21 hoping to start a new winning streak. Colorado is 15-23 after splitting four with the Mets and finally snapping a four-game skid. Chase Dollander (3-2, 3.38 ERA) takes the mound for the Rockies and brings 42 strikeouts with him. He faces Jesús Luzardo (3-3, 5.09 ERA), who has piled up 51 strikeouts but also given up too much hard contact. Brandon Marsh is hitting .333 for the Phils, while Kyle Schwarber leads the team with 12 home runs and Bryce Harper has 23 RBI.
