Pre-game for Broncos vs. Coyotes

The Broncos (22-23) and Coyotes (19-26) are approximately third minutes away from the first pitch. Tonight's contest starts the second half of the season.

The Broncos will have righty Richard Bartlett (1-1, 18.90 ERA) on the mound. Bartlett is coming off a horrid outing his last time up. Against Edinburg on Tuesday, he lasted just 1 1/3 inning, surrendering 13 runs (11 earned) on nine hits , walking four and striking out two, in a 16-3 Coyotes rout.

Here's to hoping things go A LOT smoother this time around.

Bartlett's opponent will be Coyotes ace Eric Montoya (4-2, 4.09 ERA).

Tonight's lineup for the Broncos:

CF   Steven Wright

2B   Matt Lawman

RF   Dwayne White

DH   Edgard Clemente

C     Luany Sanchez

3B   Ben Tinius

LF   Anthony Bennett

1B   Mark Perez

SS   Eric Padilla

Arnoldo Ponce and Ivan Reyes are still out of the lineup due to injury, though both are expected to be activated tomorrow.
