We aren’t even at the All-Star break but the postseason is already is nothing more than a pipe dream for the Diamondbacks and Rockies. Still, we will be treated to a pretty decent pitching matchup Friday night.
Arizona is expected to start Zac Gallen (4-2, 3.40 ERA), while Colorado will go with Chad Kuhl. They have a combined 9-7 record and each owns an ERA south of 4.00.
When they met last Sunday, neither had his best stuff. Kuhl allowed five runs over five innings, while Gallen gave up three runs in the Rockies’ 6-5 victory.
