Colorado Rockies (21-26) at Philadelphia Phillies (19-32)
Rockies’ Jordan Lyles (2-5, 5.10 ERA) at Phillies’ Jerome Williams (3-4, 5.33), 11:35 a.m. Sunday, ROOT; 850 AM
Lyles, who missed his last scheduled start in Cincinnati because of a sprained toe, returns to face the Phillies in Philadelphia. Lyles, asked Saturday whether he felt back to normal, said: “I will tomorrow.” Lyles left his past two starts early because of injuries, the first issue a bruised pitching hand after he was hit by a line drive in Anaheim. In two career games in Philadelphia, Lyles has a no- decision in each. The Rockies lost both games. Lyles hasn’t been a winning pitcher since April 23, and he last won on the road April 7 in the Rockies’ season-opening series at Milwaukee.
