The Colorado Rockies halted a six-game losing streak with a close win over the Cincinnati Reds Friday night. I think they'll make it two on the bounce here, coming up against Reds righty Tanner Roark (5-6, 3.51 ERA) who matched his career high by allowing three home runs last time out. Roark is 1-2 against the Rockies in his career with a 3.71 ERA.

The Rockies turn to left-hander Kyle Freeland (2-6, 7.13 ERA) who has had tough season after being one of the top pitchers in the National League in 2018. Freeland should be extremely motivated to earn back his spot in the rotation after spending the last six weeks in the minors. "I think I was slightly predictable," Freeland told reporters on Friday. "I think hitters had a pretty solid book and game plan going into games against me. At the same time, I was leaving a lot of mistakes over the middle of the plate. You put those two together, and more than likely the ball is going to be flying out."

Still, the Rockies are 16-5 in Freeland's last 21 home starts and 5-1 in his last 6 home starts vs. a team with a losing record.

8* play on Colorado Rockies.
