Diamondbacks and Rockies Look to End Losing Streaks in Upcoming Series
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies are set to begin a three-game series in Denver, with both teams aiming to reverse recent poor performances. Arizona pitcher Merrill Kelly, despite a high season ERA, will start after allowing only one run in his previous outing against the New York Mets, which sparked a brief winning streak for the Diamondbacks. He faces Colorado's Kyle Freeland, who is seeking his first win since early April. The Diamondbacks have struggled recently but boast a highly effective bullpen with a 1.99 ERA since May 1. Conversely, the Rockies are entrenched in last place in the National League West, having lost 11 of their last 15 games. However, Colorado finds optimism in the performance of Mickey Moniak, who leads the team in home runs and RBIs. This series represents a critical opportunity for both struggling franchises to gain momentum against direct divisional rivals, with Arizona facing the bottom two teams in the NL West over the next two weeks.
