The Colorado Rockies have a chance to end their first series of this road trip on a high note. A victory against the St. Louis Cardinals this afternoon would put them one step closer to the 50-win mark in addition to cementing a series win—just their second since the All-Star break.
Right-handed veteran Michael Lorenzen will start for the Rockies today. The 34-year-old is looking to find his footing after falling into a skid. Despite a string of solid appearances in June and July, Lorenzen has a 13.50 ERA and 6.84 FIP over his last three starts. In those three starts he has given up six or more earned runs twice and made it through four innings just once.
Lorenzen’s last time out against the Tampa Bay Rays lasted just three innings. He gave up seven earned runs on seven hits—one of which was a home run—and three walks while failing to notch a single strikeout. It was just the second occasion this season that Lorenzen didn’t record any strikeouts, and the first time since mid-April.
26-year-old righty Michael McGreevy will toe the rubber for the redbirds in his 23rd start of the season. Now in his third big league year, McGreevy is enjoying the best results of his career. Through 22 starts he has an ERA of 3.59 with 81 strikeouts across 120.1 innings and he leads the Cardinals pitching staff with 2.3 wins above replacement per Baseball Reference .
McGreevy went 4.1 innings against the New York Yankees his last time out, giving up two earned runs on four hits and a walk with five strikeouts. His low-90s four-seam fastball anchors a pitch arsenal of seven different pitches and he gets whiffs from his changeup, curveball, and sweeper. He also throws a sinker, a traditional slider, and a cutter.
