Players To Watch For On the Rockies
Bud Black is the manager of the Colorado Rockies. They have not been good all season long. Milwaukee isn’t in danger of missing the playoffs, but they could affect the Brewers seeding.

Ryan Feltner has pitched in 25 games this season for the Colorado Rockies. He has pitched in 132.0 innings and has given up 147 hits and 88 runs. Feltner has walked 42 batters and has struck out 115 batters.
The Milwaukee Brewers can very well score a lot of runs in this series against a weak pitching team, the Colorado Rockies. Milwaukee is trying to catch either the Philadelphia Phillies or the Los Angeles Dodgers for one of the byes in the National League.
