Looking Ahead

Diamondbacks LHP Robbie Ray (31, 5.23 ERA) at Rockies LHP Kyle Freeland (86, 3.18), 1:10 p.m., no TV

The Rockies have absolutely owned Ray to the tune of a .353 average (48for136), but no player has raked him more than Charlie Blackmon, as the center fielder is hitting .500 (15for30) with four homers and 11 RBIs against the southpaw. Ray, bumped up in the rotation to give Zack Godley an extra day of rest, is coming off two troubled starts in which he allowed a combined 10 runs in 9L innings of work. He has posted only one quality start in his last five outings. It’s a different story for Freeland, who has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his past four outings. Arizona is hitting a collective .205 against him, with the lone longball coming via Ketel Marte in an 83 loss at Coors Field on June 10.
