The Rockies will look to win their series with the Red Sox.

Tonight, the Colorado Rockies (37-64) will play their second game against the Boston Red Sox (53-46), hoping to build off the momentum of their 12th-inning walk-off win. (The Rockies have the third-most walk-off wins in MLB this season — they are tied with Miami and Boston.)

Starting for the Red Sox will be RHP Cooper Criswell in his 14th game of 2024.

He’s earned a 4.50 ERA (1.28 WHIP) over 58.0 IP. During that time, he’s struck out 50, walked 27, and given up seven home runs.

Ty Blach will take the mound for the Rockies in what will be a bullpen game. Currently, he has a 5.46 ERA (1.58 WHIP) in 59.1 innings pitched. He’s struck out 32, walked 13, and given up 10 home runs.

Fun fact: Criswill Owns MLB’s 2nd fastest pitch tempo with the bases empty with 11.2 seconds between pitches. Who is the fastest, you might like? That would be old friend Brent Sutter at11.1 seconds. Blach is no slouch when it comes to moving a game along, so expect the pace to be brisk.
