Washington Nationals (51-50) at Colorado Rockies (40-62) — Game Preview
The Washington Nationals (51-50) visit the Colorado Rockies (40-62) at Coors Field with the two clubs pointed in very different directions this season.

James Wood has driven much of that Nationals power, hitting .271 with 28 home runs and 66 RBIs from right field, while Colorado counters with center fielder Jake McCarthy, who is hitting .305 with a .512 slugging mark. CJ Abrams adds another layer for Washington with 72 RBIs and 22 home runs to go with his .275 average, and Hunter Goodman answers behind the plate for the Rockies with 30 home runs and 56 RBIs of his own. The Nationals sit 8 games back in the NL East while the Rockies trail by 23.5 in the NL West, a reflection of how differently these two seasons have played out.
