The final home game of the first half comes as the Rockies are in the middle of 17 consecutive games without an off-day with another seven\u2013including a three game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers\u2013to go after today before All-Star Game festivities begin.<\/p>\n
Right-handed pitcher Tanner Gordon will be making his 11th appearance and fourth start of the season for the Rockies this afternoon. The 28-year-old currently has a 6.69 ERa with 39 strikeouts in 40.1 innings of work so far.<\/p>\n
His last time out, Gordon took the loss in a five inning start against the Miami Marlins in which he allowed five earned runs on nine hits\u2013including a home run\u2013while striking out four batters and issuing no walks. It was his first game back after a stint on the injured list for a hip injury.<\/p>\n
On the bump for Los Gigantes is the right-handed Tyler Mahle. The 31-year-old journeyman has posted a 5.67 ERA through 13 starts with the Giants and has 64 strikeouts over 66.2 innings of work during his first season in the Bay Area. In his last start he went 4.1 innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks while giving up four earned runs on four hits and three walks.<\/p>\n
Mahle has made six career starts against the Rockies previously with a 5.08 ERA, 27 strikeouts, and two home runs given up over 33.2 total innings. This season he is working with a five pitch mix anchored by a four-seam fastball that averages 92.4 MPH. He also uses a split finger, a cutter, a slider, and the occasional sinker.<\/p>\n
