Juan Mejia (RHP, #47) and Ryan Weiss (RHP, #51) both arrive with 0‑2 records, but the Rockies’ 4.12 ERA looks like a polite invitation compared to Houston’s 6.17—still, both arms have been handing out walks like free samples at a carnival. Expect a low‑scoring affair at 8:10 PM on MLB.TV, with Denver’s .235 hitters trying to out‑bat Houston’s .269 squad in a ballpark that’s more humidity than altitude.
Colorado’s roster is already a juggling act: Willi Castro is a Day‑To‑Day in left field, and Jared Thomas sits on a 7‑day IL in center, so the Rockies may have to field a backup who’s more “utility” than “utility‑player.” The Astros, meanwhile, are missing reliever Bennett Sousa, but that won’t stop them from trying to turn their 6.17 ERA into a punchline.
