Rockies LHP Chris Rusin (1-4, 4.62 ERA) at Dodgers RHP Kenta Maeda (5-3, 2.84), 8:10 p.m. Wednesday, ROOT, 850 AM
The Rockies caught a break on this trip to Los Angeles when they avoided have to face perennial Cy Young Award candidate Clayton Kershaw. Still, Maeda is a threat to dominate, as he did at Coors Field on April 23, when he pitched 6u2153 scoreless innings and struck out eight in L.A.’s 4-1 victory. The 28-year-old right-hander from Japan was brilliant in April, posting a 1.41 ERA, but he has fallen into a bit of a rut, having just one quality start in his past six outings.
