After securing a series victory from Miami in yesterday’s doubleheader, the Colorado Rockies now play host to the Atlanta Braves. The two teams will also be celebrating the life of Lou Gehrig in today’s game.
Ian Anderson (3-3, 4.34 ERA) toes the rubber for the Braves. The 24-year-old righthander is in a bit of a rough patch, as he’s allowed four runs in his past two starts and hasn’t recorded a win since May 4th. He’s allowing more hits and walks and less strikeouts than he has in his previous two seasons, and is clearly not at the level he was when he shut down the Astros in last season’s World Series.
