Rockies Look To Snap Losing Streak
Colorado has moved closer to the bottom of the NL West division during their series against Milwaukee after gaining momentum in previous games. They are 8-5 in their last 13 contests but haven’t made up any ground on the third-place San Francisco Giants, who they trail by 5.5 games in the standings.
C.J. Cron is the most productive hitter for the Rockies, with 22 homers and 70 RBIs, and Jose Iglesias is the leader in average, hitting .301.
German Marquez leads their pitching staff in wins with six and strikeouts with 85. Kyle Freeland will make the start in this game and is 4-7 with a team-leading 4.96 ERA on the season.
Brewers Still Hold Slim Lead In Division
Milwaukee has been leading the NL Central standings for most of the season but has been followed closely by the Cardinals.
However, they are the only two teams in contention for the division title, as the Pittsburgh Pirates are their closest rival and are 13 games behind first place. A fourth straight win tonight would also give them momentum going into their next series against the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins.
Andrew McCutchen is the leader in batting average for the Brewers at .255, and Willy Adames is first in home runs with 20. Rowdy Tellez is at the top in RBIs for Milwaukee with 58.
Corbin Burnes leads the team in ERA at 2.20 and in strikeouts with 149, and Brandon Woodruff is the team leader in wins with eight. Aaron Ashby will start for Milwaukee tonight and is 2-7 with a 4.57 ERA.

Ashby didn’t fare much better in his previous game and didn’t make it past the second inning against San Francisco after giving up two earned runs.
