In back-to-back games, the Colorado Rockies saw winnable games slip away into the distance. Veterans Brent Suter and Daniel Bard struggled to get outs in the eighth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, combining to allow nine runs on nine hits and registering just two outs. The Rockies will look to avoid that fate once again as they look to even the series in Tampa Bay.
They will send their best starter Austin Gomber (9-9, 5.52 ERA) to the mound as he aims to bounce back after a tough start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on August 16.
