Game Storylines
Pirates Look to Salvage Series Finale
The Pittsburgh Pirates are aiming to avoid a sweep after dropping the first two games of the series, including a wild 17–16 loss on Friday and an 8–5 defeat on Saturday. Despite the setbacks, Liover Peguero has been a bright spot, hitting three home runs on Saturday and collecting seven hits, four homers, and seven RBIs over his last 10 games.
Rockies Seek Rare Home Sweep
The Colorado Rockies, owners of the worst record in MLB, are surprisingly in position to sweep their first home series of the season. Rookie Bradley Blalock (1–2, 7.09 ERA) takes the mound after a strong outing against Cleveland, where he tossed six shutout innings. The Rockies have gone 6–4 over their last 10 games, hitting .275 as a team despite a 7.33 ERA.
Pitching Matchup
- Keller has pitched better than his record suggests, posting a 3.02 ERA over his last nine starts, and owns a 0.39 career ERA vs Colorado.
- Blalock has shown improvement since his July recall, with a 1.59 ERA over his last three starts, and has walked just one batter in 17 innings.
