Rockies Seek Redemption Against Brewers After Series-Opening Loss
28 Jun
Summary
- Rockies lost 10-6 to Brewers in series opener
- Senzatela (3-10, 6.48 ERA) to start for Rockies, Priester (5-2, 3.68 ERA) for Brewers
- Doyle showing signs of breaking out of prolonged slump
The Colorado Rockies' recent road success took a hit on Friday night as they dropped the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers 10-6. The Rockies, who had won seven of their previous 10 road games, struggled to contain the Brewers' offense in the series-opening loss.
Looking to bounce back, the Rockies will send Antonio Senzatela (3-10, 6.48 ERA) to the mound on Saturday afternoon to face off against the Brewers' Quinn Priester (5-2, 3.68 ERA). Senzatela will be seeking his third straight win after a difficult start to the season, while Priester makes his second start against the Rockies this year.
One positive note for the Rockies has been the recent performance of outfielder Brenton Doyle, who is "starting to show signs he is coming out of his prolonged slump." Despite batting just .196, Doyle has been hitting the ball hard, including a home run off Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw on Thursday.
