The Rockies will try to get their first series win.
After winning the series opener, 3-2, the Colorado Rockies (8-24) will look to continue their winning ways against the Pittsburgh Pirates (14-19).
Yesterday’s win snapped the Rockies’ five-game losing streak and 10-game losing streak away from Coors Field. They have yet to win consecutive games this season or a series. Both are the longest such streaks in franchise history.
They will look to change that today.
Taking the mound for the Rockies will be Austin Gomber, who has a 4.40 ERA (32.0 IP, 22 Ks) on the season. He’s given up seven home runs. Like the rest of the pitching staff, Gomber has received little run support.
The Pirates will start Jared Jones (3.52 ERA in 34.0 innings). He’s given up seven home runs, walked five, and struck out 42.
In addition, the Pirates are celebrating “Star Wars” Day, so be prepared for lots of intergalactic quips.
