After a fantastic July, Gray’s struggled mightily in August. He’s lost all four of his starts and ran up an ERA of 6.75. If you were looking for a silver-lining, Gray’s strikeouts haven’t abandoned him. He’s averaged seven strikeouts per contest. In two starts against the Dodgers in late July, Gray conceded just four earned runs in 12 innings but caught no decisions in both appearances. Price, not nearly as dominant as he once was, has picked up just one loss in August, and that’s it. His longest outing was 5 L innings, with no other starts even getting through the fifth inning. His last start against the Rockies came on July 23, where

Price gave up three earned runs and two homers in 5 M innings. At home, where Price has appeared 18 times with eight starts, the lefty has a 3.47 ERA.

Trending: Connor Joe has knocked in 19 runs in his last 16 games. Joe hit his first career grand slam in the nightcap of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Cubs. It was the second time in his career he’s knocked in four runs.

At issue: Entering Friday, the Rockies are 3-10 against the Dodgers this year and 10-32 against them since 2019.
