For Monday's contest, Milwaukee will send out lefty Aaron Ashby, who is 2-5 with a 5.13 ERA spanning 12 starts. He's also made six relief appearances. He has had a rough go as a starter, and he'll be up against an excellent Rockies lineup.
In his last outing, Ashby went five innings, allowing three hits and two earned runs while he striking out three. Recently, the left-hander's performances have been abysmal, as he's sporting an 8.15 ERA in his previous four outings. The Rockies, who struggle on the road offensively, will try to get to Ashby early on Monday.
Kyle Freeland, who is 4-7 with a 4.96 ERA, will take the hill Monday for Colorado. In his previous start, Freeland tossed just four frames, giving up six hits and five earned runs while punching out only three. The left-hander's performances lately have dipped as he's surrendered 11 earned runs in his previous 10 1/3 frames.
The Brewers have averaged 5.6 runs per game over their last seven, so expect them to keep putting together good at-bats.
