Philadelphia Phillies (7-9) at Colorado Rockies (9-9)

Starting Pitchers:
PHI: Kyle Kendrick
vs.
COL: Jordan Lyles

Time: 8:10, Coors Field
TV: CSN
Weather: Mostly Cloudy, 60
Media: Twitter and Facebook

A Note for Tonight:

Yesterday was about as bad as it gets. Kyle Kendrick will look to stop the Rockies tonight in a place where he hasn’t been spectacular. At Coors Field, Kendrick is 1-0 with a 5.83 ERA. Colorado has hit .331 against him in in their home park.

If Kendrick isn’t careful, this could get out of hand quickly with the hot hitting Charlie Blackmon atop the order hitting .426, and Troy Tulowitzki coming off an impressing Friday night.

Lineup: Revere CF / Rollins SS / Utley 2B / Howard 1B / Byrd RF / Brown LF / Ruiz C / Asche 3B / Kendrick P
