Probable Pitchers
Boston: RHP Albert Suárez
Suárez has been one of Boston’s steadier arms, leaning on a sinker‑changeup mix and limiting hard contact. He has allowed three runs or fewer in five of his last seven starts but has struggled at times with deep counts. Coors Field presents a significant challenge for his pitch‑to‑contact style.
Colorado: LHP Kyle Freeland
Freeland has battled inconsistency this season, but he remains more effective at home, where he relies on ground balls and soft contact. His slider and changeup have been sharper in June, though he has been vulnerable to right‑handed power.
