Colorado Rockies lost 26 out of 40 games in May. Since then, they have won 13 of 23 games. Colorado has been one of the hottest teams at the plate in July. Milwaukee has lost 8 of its last 11 games before the All-Star Game. The Brewers lost their last two series against teams with losing records.

Milwaukee is struggling at the plate with a .235 batting average. Antonio Senzatela is starting for Colorado. The Brewers are 35-28 against right-handed starters this season.
