The Rockies are 13-5 versus the Phillies in their last eighteen meetings, so the dominance does transfer somewhat on the road where they have won four of seven.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies RH Jon Gray (3-3, 4.25 ERA) vs. Phillies LH Cole Irvin (1-0, 1.29)
Gray highlighted his 3-0 mark in his last five starts after scattering two hits over six scoreless innings in a 4-1 victory over Philadelphia on April 21. The 27-year-old boasts a 3-2 mark with a 3.44 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in six career against the Phillies, although he is 0-2 with an 8.71 ERA at Citizens Bank Park. Gray has struggled with the home run ball, having been taken deep twice in a no-decision versus San Diego on Saturday and nine times in nine outings this season.
Irvin will be hard-pressed to improve upon his memorable major league debut, as he allowed one run on five hits and struck out five in seven innings of Sunday's 6-1 victory versus Kansas City. "Cole Irvin has earned the opportunity to get additional looks," Philadelphia manager Gabe Kapler said. "... In the upcoming start against the Rockies, we feel like, at this point, Cole Irvin gives us our best chance to win that baseball game. That's why he'll make that start." The 25-year-old Irvin posted a 16-4 mark with a 2.51 ERA in nearly 200 innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley since the start of 2018.
