The struggling Toronto Blue Jays (65-48) head to Coors Field to face the bottom-dwelling Colorado Rockies (30-81) in what could be a high-scoring affair given both teams' recent bullpen troubles and the notorious hitter-friendly conditions in Denver.
Jose Berrios takes the mound for Toronto despite posting a concerning 5.83 ERA in July, while Kyle Freeland (2-11, 5.26 ERA) looks to give the Rockies a fighting chance as slight +102 underdogs.
Recent offensive production from the Rockies, who registered an impressive .304/.350/.592 slash line over the past week, suggests they could make this interleague matchup more competitive than their dismal record indicates.

Colorado Rockies vs. Toronto Blue Jays preview
The struggling Colorado Rockies host the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays in a rare interleague clash at the notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field on Tuesday night.
Toronto sends Jose Berrios to the mound despite his recent struggles (5.83 ERA in July), though he's historically dominated the Rockies, having never allowed a run against them in two career starts.
The Blue Jays enter Denver having dropped consecutive series and won just two of their last eight games, putting pressure on their bullpen that has posted an alarming 9.10 ERA over the past week.
Meanwhile, the Rockies' bats have suddenly awakened with a .304/.350/.592 slash line over their last seven games, including a slugfest series against Pittsburgh where the teams combined for 30 runs.
Left-hander Kyle Freeland takes the hill for Colorado looking to improve on his disappointing 2-11 record, though his 4.39 ERA in July suggests potential signs of life.
The game presents an intriguing contrast: Berrios has never pitched at altitude, while both teams' bullpens have been dreadful lately—setting the stage for what could be another high-scoring affair at baseball's most offense-friendly ballpark.
