TV: 6:10 p.m. ET, AT&T Sportsnet - Rocky Mountain (Colorado), FS Florida (Miami)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies LH Tyler Anderson (2018: 7-9, 4.55 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Pablo Lopez (2018: 2-4, 4.14)

Anderson has yet to sport a winning record through three major-league seasons but was able to set career highs in multiple categories in 2018, including wins, innings (176) and strikeouts (164). The Las Vegas native is coming off the worst spring training of his career, however, after posting a 0-2 record and 7.71 ERA across four appearances (two starts). Anderson went 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA two turns versus the Marlins last season but is 1-2 with a 2.70 ERA in four career starts against them.

Prior to landing on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder strain last August, Lopez appeared to find his groove over his final five starts, holding the opposition to two runs or fewer four times. The 23-year-old was unable to win at home after his big-league debut on June 30, but he still finished 1-3 with a 3.72 ERA in six turns at Marlins Park. Lopez, who has never faced the Rockies, was dominant in five exhibition appearances (two starts) this spring, going 3-0 with a 0.90 ERA.
