As of August 22nd, 2025, the Colorado Rockies find themselves in a dismal position, sitting at the bottom of the NL West with a 37-91 record. They now head to Pittsburgh to take on the 54-74 Pirates in a 3-game series, seeking to turn their fortunes around.
The pitching matchup for the series opener features the Rockies' Antonio Senzatela, who has struggled mightily this season with a 4-14 record and a 7.00 ERA. He'll be facing off against the Pirates' Braxton Ashcraft, who has been a bright spot for the home team with a 3-2 record and a 3.02 ERA.
The Rockies, who have the seventh-ranked team slugging percentage in the NL at .397, will look to their bats to provide some much-needed offense. Meanwhile, the Pirates have been inconsistent of late, going just 3-7 in their last 10 games and being outscored by 35 runs during that stretch.
This series presents an opportunity for the Rockies to snap their losing ways and potentially gain some momentum, while the Pirates will aim to capitalize on their home-field advantage and solidify their position in the NL Central.
