Rockies

 Colorado heads to Washington for a four-game set, with the teams trending in opposite directions. The Rockies are 3-12 in July, hurt by an MLB-high 7.90 ERA this month. Washington's pitching staff, on the other hand, has the third-best ERA in July at 2.97, guiding them to a 10-5 record.

 On May 23, the Nationals were a season-high 12 games under .500 and were striking out once every 3.98 plate appearances, the fifth-highest rate in MLB. Since then, they have the second-lowest strikeout rate in baseball, punching out once every 5.38 plate appearances.

 The Rockies lead the majors with a .300 batting average with runners in scoring position, including a .338 mark since June 1. In the last 10 seasons, only the 2013 Cardinals (.330) have finished with at least a .300 batting average with runners in scoring position.

 Anthony Rendon has a .463 batting average and a 1.552 OPS in 73 plate appearances with no outs and nobody on base, leading the majors in both categories.

 Kyle Freeland, scheduled to start Wednesday for the Rockies, has seen his ERA skyrocket from 2.85 last season to 7.62 this season. He has surrendered at least three earned runs in nine consecutive starts, the longest active streak in baseball.

 Only seven players have collected 100 hits and 20 home runs in each of the last four seasons, including 2019. Four of the seven will be playing in this series: Washington's Anthony Rendon and Colorado's Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and Trevor Story.

Nationals

After failing to make up any ground with National League East-leading Atlanta thanks to a split of their four-game series with the Braves, the Washington Nationals head home to begin a 10-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.
Right-hander Erick Fedde (1-1, 3.50 ERA) will make his eighth start of the season for the Nationals and will be opposed by 22-year-old right-hander Peter Lambert (2-1, 6.06) in the first of a four-game series with the Rockies. Washington will also host the Los Angeles Dodgers for three games and then finish the homestand with another key three-game series with the Braves.
