The Rockies were stymied by Max Scherzer in a 5-2 loss on Friday night and things remain tough as they will now face Justin Verlander in game two of the weekend series. This makes the third Cy Young award-winning pitcher the Rockies will face at Coors Field this week against losing games to both Sandy Alcantara and Scherzer.
The Rockies will try to rally behind Chase Anderson who is off to a wonderful start as a Rockie. After two starts in which he pitched at least five innings, Anderson is sporting a 1.69 ERA in purple with four strikeouts and two walks.
