The Colorado Rockies begin a three-game set with the Oakland A's on Tuesday hoping to end what has been a rough five-game stretch. In that time, they've allowed a total of 44 runs.
Fortunately for a struggling Colorado pitching staff, Oakland has one of the worst offenses in baseball -- they rank 14th in the AL in runs, batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.
Here are the lineups for Tuesday's game:
#Rockies vs. #Athletics, 6/12, 6:40pm: Colvin8, Scutaro6, Gonzalez7, Cuddyer9, Helton3, Pacheco5, Nelson4, Nieves2, Guthrie1.
