Rockies Set Starting Lineup for Rubber Game With Orioles

After suffering a frustrating loss on Monday night to the Baltimore Orioles at home, 2-1, the Colorado Rockies bounced back and won the second game of the three-game series on Tuesday night, 4-2, to force a rubber game of the series on Wednesday afternoon in Colorado.

Colton Cowser robbed the Rockies' Jake McCarthy of a potential game-winning home run for the final out on Monday night with a terrific catch. However, on Tuesday night, Baltimore didn't get as lucky, as TJ Rumfield hit his first home run since July, in the bottom of the seventh, to break a 2-2 tie and send the Rockies to a 4-2 victory.

The two teams will play the rubber game on Wednesday afternoon, and Colorado will be looking for a series win and inch closer to avoiding losing 100 games for a fourth straight season.

Orioles: LHP Trevor Rogers (9-9, 4.38) vs. Rockies: RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (12-8, 5.23)

Former Orioles right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano will look to clinch the series as he looks to turn the page from a frustrating August. In five starts, the 36-year-old had an 8.61 ERA in23 innings with 37 hits and 223 runs allowed. That was on the heels of a good month in July, when he had a 2.95 ERA over three starts and 18.1 innings.

As for Trevor Rogers, the veteran has had an up-and-down season, but the Orioles are in the thick of the American League wild-card spot and need the 28-year-old to come up big against the Rockies. This is the final game of a three-city, nine-game road trip for Baltimore, which returns home to begin a four-game series with the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
