Chicago Cubs (34-32) at Colorado Rockies (24-42) | Coors Field | 8:40 PM ET / 6:40 PM MT
The Chicago Cubs (34–32, STRUGGLING!) travel to Coors Field to face the Colorado Rockies (24–42, one of the worst teams in baseball!) on Tuesday night! We’re DESPERATE after losing the Giants series with a heartbreaking 2-1 walk-off loss Sunday! Matt Chapman delivered the dagger in the 10th inning, ending our chances of winning the series! We’ve LOST 20 of our last 27 games (absolutely BRUTAL!)! The Rockies are EIGHTEEN GAMES UNDER .500 and we should dominate them despite the high altitude and thin air at Coors!
This is a chance to get back on track—can we FINALLY WIN against the struggling Rockies?
