Carlos Gonzalez is not in the lineup for the second consecutive game on Saturday after leaving Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins with a finger injury.
The Rockies didn't miss Gonzalez much on Friday, plating eight runs in the first four innings against Milwaukee Brewers starter Wily Peralta en route to an 8-3 victory. They'll have to tread water without Gonzalez again on Saturday while facing Tom Gorzelanny, who owns a 7.20 career ERA in 20 career innings at Coors Field.
Collin McHugh will make his first start at the big-league level since joining the Rockies organization on June 18 after being acquired from the New York Mets in exchange for Eric Young Jr. McHugh owns a 10.29 ERA in seven major league innings in 2013 after posting a 7.59 ERA for the Mets last season. He has faced the Brewers once in his career, allowing a run on two hits in two-thirds of an inning in 2012.
