The Colorado Rockies have not won a series in Miami since 2013. They have a chance to do so in tonight’s rubber match, but standing in the way is one of the hottest arms in the league.
Trevor Rogers earned himself NL Rookie of the Month honors in May, and his 1.97 ERA on the year is fifth-best in all of baseball among qualified starters. This is not exactly the guy you want to face with a series win on the line; the Rockies have never seen him before and in 11 of his 12 starts this year, he’s allowed two runs or fewer.
