Rox host Dodgers in NL West showdown
(MLB.com Colorado Rockies)

Like much of the rest of the rotation, Rockies lefty Tyler Anderson (6-4, 4.05 ERA) has struggled in the first inning. He hopes to avoid a repeat of his last start when he gave up six first-inning runs at Milwaukee. Anderson takes the ball at Coors Field tonight against the Dodgers in the opener of an important National League West series starting a 6:40 MT. He is 2-1 with a 2.98 ERA in his last seven starts. Ross Stripling takes the mound for Los Angeles.
