Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates meet in game 2 of series

The Colorado Rockies face the Pittsburgh Pirates, leading the series 1-0

18 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Sitting out second straight Johnston is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Pirates.

Impact It's the second straight game that the left-handed-hitting Johnston has been out of the lineup against a righty hurler, which is curious given that he's slashing .350/.416/.483 against righties this season. Jake McCarthy and Tyler Freeman will occupy the corner outfield spots for the Rockies, and Sterlin Thompson will be the designated hitter.

Out of lineup against righty Johnston is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cubs.

Impact It's the first time since mid-April that the left-handed-hitting Johnston is not in the lineup against a right-hander (in this case, Javier Assad). Jake McCarthy and Tyler Freeman will fill the corner outfield spots for the Rockies in the series finale.

Bowing out of starting nine Johnston is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Impact After going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs in Sunday's 23-9 win while lefty Jeffrey Springs started for the Athletics, the left-handed-hitting Johnston will head to the bench for Monday's matchup with southpaw Shota Imanaga. Johnston will give up his spot in the lineup to Jake McCarthy (illness), who will return to the starting nine after sitting in the past five games.

Supplies four RBI Johnston went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk, four total RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Athletics.

Impact This was Johnston's third multi-hit effort in his last four games. The homer was his first since April 6 versus the Astros. Johnston hasn't developed over-the-fence power this year even with a hitter-friendly home park, but he has been among the Rockies' most consistent batters. He's hitting .317 with an .822 OPS, three homers, 34 RBI, 30 runs scored, 21 doubles and four stolen bases over 67 games in a near-everyday role, though Johnston may see fewer opportunities versus left-handers with Tyler Freeman (concussion) back in action.

Piling up multi-hit efforts Johnston went 2-for-3 with an RBI on Saturday against the Athletics.

Impact Johnston delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning and tallied another base knock four frames later. He was pulled for a pinch runner on the latter occasion, though he still managed his sixth multi-hit performance in his last 12 games. Johnston has hit .348 with seven RBI and five runs scored in that span, and he has an impressive .316 average across 249 plate appearances for the campaign.

Hitting bench against southpaw Johnston is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact He'll join fellow left-handed hitters Edouard Julien, Sterlin Thompson and Brett Sullivan on the bench while the Rockies face off against lefty Shota Imanaga in the penultimate game of the series. Johnston had started in each of Colorado's last 19 games, slashing .293/.333/.373 with three stolen bases, 10 runs and seven RBI over that stretch.

Impact Johnston had gone 29 games without a steal entering this contest. He's gone even longer (39 games) without a home run, but he's hit consistently enough to stay in the Rockies' lineup, primarily as a strong-side platoon option in the corner outfield spots. On the year, he's hitting .323 with an .827 OPS, two homers, two steals, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and 13 doubles across 48 contests.
