St. Louis Cardinals Set For A Mile High City Sweep
St. Louis is looking to rock the Rockies for a third straight night as they close out a six game road trip in the Mile High City tonight. RHP pitcher Lance Lynn (13-4 3.42 ERA) gets the call for the Cardinals. While it wasn’t been pretty, the Red Birds won the first two games by a 20-12 final count. Despite giving up six runs on eight hits, Lynn hung tough and earned a 9-6 win in his last outing against the Cubs – expect a better effort here.

One has to feel for fans of the Colorado Rockies as they have watched their team implode to the 37-65 record during the 2012 MLB campaign. If you’re looking for blame, don’t curse the bats as the Rockies have top ten status in just about every hitting category. Point to ptiching as their downfall as Colorado owns the worst team ERA in the Majors. Triple-A Colorado Springs call-up RHP Alex White heads to the bump tonight.
