Looking Ahead

- — Patrick Saunders, The Denver Post

Dodgers RHP Ross Stripling (8-3, 2.68 ERA) at Rockies LHP Tyler Anderson (6-4, 4.05), 6:40 p.m. Thursday, ATTRM; 850 AM

Anderson is looking to rebound from his worst performanc­e of the season. The left-hander lost at Milwaukee on Saturday, his first loss since June 23, giving up seven runs on seven hits, including three home runs. Anderson’s location of pitches was poor. Still, Anderson has been one of the Rockies’ best pitchers during the heat of the summer, going 2-1 with a 2.98 ERA over his past seven starts, with opponents hitting just .172 over those seven games. Anderson has a 3.50 ERA in 30 career starts at Coors Field. Stripling is coming off the disabled list to make this start, but he may be back in the bullpen soon after. He was a reliever for much of the 2017 season. The right-hander was excellent in May and June, but he struggled in July, posting a 4.73 ERA. The 28-year-old has already surpassed his career high by throwing 104 innings this season. Nolan Arenado has hit Stripling well, going 5-for11 (.455) with a home run and one double.
