It didn’t go very well.

Colorado got swept 3-0, but the good news is that the Rockies lost each game by one run, including a walk-off 4-3 loss in game three. Now, the 1993 expansion teams will face each other again, but this time for a four-game series at Coors Field.

The Rockies (33-50) have gone 5-5 in their last 10 games and are 18-22 at home this season. The Marlins (44-40) have been on a hot streak, going 8-2 in the last 10 games. Miami’s success is largely due to its successful employment of small ball and MLB-leading 92 stolen bases.

Making his fourth MLB start, Sean Sullivan (0-2, 8.25 ERA) will try to help the Rockies earn their first win over the Marlins this season. After throwing three scoreless innings against the A’s in his debut, the 23-year-old lefty struggled in start No. 2 when he gave up eight runs on nine hits, including two homers, in four innings against the Chicago Cubs. He was better in his last outing, when he surrendered three runs on five hits with five walks and three strikeouts in five innings against the Boston Red Sox.

The 2022 NL Cy Young winner, Sandy Alcantara (8-4, 4.01), will be on the mound for Miami. Alcantara, 30, has also been on a hot streak in June, posting a 2.60 ERA and a 5-0 record with 29 strikeouts and only six walks in 34.2 innings.
