Rockies Look to Bounce Back vs Nationals | Washington Nationals News

On July 20th, even with Hunter Goodman dropping three bombs on Sunday, the Rockies couldn't snag the series win.
Now, they're looking to bounce back as the Washington Nationals roll into town for a three-game set at Coors Field. The Rockies are still sitting 21 games under 500, but they've been showing some fight, putting up better monthly records in June and July. Then they did early in the season. They've already hit their win total from last year, which is a sign of definite improvement.
This series kicks off Monday with Kyle Freeland on the mound for the Rockies against Andrew Alvarez of the Nationals. Freeland's got an ERA over seven, while Alvarez's is just over four, so the Rockies' bats will need to show up. Tuesday night features Michael Lorenzen for Colorado, who's looking for a better outing after his last start, facing off against Miles Mikolas of Washington. Mikolas also doesn't have a winning record, and the Nationals bullpen has been struggling, so getting to him early could be key.
The Wednesday matchup is still up in the air for the Rockies, as they haven't named a starter yet. They'll be facing Cade Cavalli for the Nationals, who's been one of their more consistent pitchers with a 3-27-8 ERA, Anna. If Cavalli brings his A game, Washington could take that final game of the series. All games start at 6:40 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday and Tuesday, with a 1:10 p.m. start on Wednesday. You can catch all the action on rockies.tv, or listen on KOA Radio if you're in the Denver area. The first pitch for Monday and Tuesday games is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. Mountain Time. Wednesday's game will start earlier, at 1:10 p.m. Mountain Time. And if you're looking for more deep dives into the Rockies, check out the Rockies Rap Podcast.
