Miami at Colorado

The Miami Marlins kicked off their six-game road trip with three straight losses to the Chicago Cubs, getting outscored 13-6 in the process. The offense dipped to #21 in baseball in runs scored. Miami goes with reliever David Phelps in the starting role, but he will be limited to two turns through Colorado's lineup as he slowly gets stretched out. He has been hammered for 11 runs and 14 hits in 9+ innings in his career at Coors Field. Colorado is back in the pennant race on an 11-3 run and the Rockies are 8-1 when following a loss. Colorado's offense is second in baseball in runs scored and slugging. Rockies' lefty Jorge De La Rosa knows how to pitch in Coors Field and earned his 100th career win after limiting the New York Mets to two runs in six innings on Saturday. He has yielded three runs or fewer in eight of nine starts since returning to the rotation in June. The Rockies are 57-18 in De La Rosa's last 75 home starts, while Miami is 38-55 all-time in Colorado. Back the Rockies.
