His performance will be vital as the Rockies aim to capitalize on their home-field advantage.


Nationals' Notable Performers


On the other side of the diamond, Nathaniel Lowe stands out as one of the Washington Nationals' top performers. The first baseman has been hitting at an impressive .444 average over his last three games, with an OPS of 1.34.
