Brewers at Rockies
Coors Field has become a bit of a home away from home recently for the Milwaukee Brewers, who seem quite comfortable on the road in general this season. The Brewers seek their first six-game road winning streak since a seven-game run in 2015 on Saturday when they play the third of four contests in Colorado against the Rockies.
After riding the hot bat of Lorenzo Cain to a 5-2 win in Thursday's series opener, the entire Milwaukee offense got on board in Friday's wild 11-10 comeback victory in 10 innings - a game in the Brewers amassed a season-high 17 hits to rally from a six-run deficit after four innings. Cain, Travis Shaw and Hernan Perez each had three hits for Milwaukee, which earned its 10th win in its last 14 games in Colorado and improved to 13-7 overall on the road. The Rockies started May out by winning six in a row but have dropped their last three to fall to 6-10 at Coors Field. Trevor Story has driven in seven of his team-leading 28 RBIs over the last four contests, including a bases-clearing triple in Friday's defeat.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Chase Anderson (3-3, 3.97 ERA) vs. Rockies LH Kyle Freeland (2-4, 3.95)
Anderson's ERA in May swelled to 7.59 as he lost for the second time in three outings Sunday against Pittsburgh, giving up five runs over 5 1/3 innings. The Oklahoma product, who went 2-2 with a 2.86 ERA across six turns in March and April, has allowed 10 homers through 45 1/3 innings after surrendering only 14 in 141 1/3 frames in 2017. Anderson went 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA in two turns versus the Rockies last season but is 2-2, 6.66 in five career starts at Coors Field.
Freeland's best efforts of the season have come in each of his last three trips to the mound, including Sunday's win in which he allowed two runs on four hits across seven innings to the New York Mets. The 24-year-old is 2-1 with a 2.14 ERA and has lasted exactly seven innings each time over that span after going 0-3, 5.85 and working no more than six frames in his first four outings. Freeland lost to the Brewers in his only start against them last August, yielding two earned runs over 5 2/3 innings.
