The Colorado Rockies are on fire, outscoring the Philadelphia Phillies 20-4 in the first two games of their 4-game set at Coors Field. Colorado has now won 5 in a row and find themselves just half a game back of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL West lead. The Rockies are expected to turn to Germán Márquez to keep it rolling. Márquez is 13-10, with a 3.91 ERA, and has been mowing them down with 210 strikeouts on the season. The Phillies have lost 6 in a row and are expected to give the nod to Nick Pivetta. Pivetta’s season is one he would like to forget, with a record of 7-13 and a 4.58 ERA. Pivetta is 0-2 in his career against the Rockies, with a bloated 16.43 ERA. Not good. The Rockies are 5-1 in Márquez’s last 6 home starts and the Phillies are 1-4 in their last 5 trips to Coors Field.
