The Colorado Rockies closed their stop at Coors Field with a comeback 6-2 win over the New York Mets, powered by another strong José Quintana home outing and a late Jake McCarthy grand slam.
It was one of the club’s most satisfying wins of the season, and now the Rockies (15-23) head back on the road to open a three-game series in Philadelphia against a Phillies team (17-21) that has won eight of its last ten. The Phillies are hot, but still under . 500 in a year that was supposed to look more convincing.
Colorado, meanwhile, is coming off a 4-2 road trip the last time it left Denver. There is also this: the Rockies and Phillies enter the series with the same 4. 67 team ERA.
The Phillies miss more bats and have stronger underlying numbers, while the Rockies have been more contact-heavy and homer-prone. At Citizens Bank Park, that difference matters. Tonight’s matchup is Chase Dollander against Jesús Luzardo .
