The Colorado Rockies, fresh from a series of victory in St. Louis, are back at home on Coors Field. Timely attack and solid enough pitching performances have helped them save their road trip, but they will look to compete against the Arizona Diamondbacks again, this time at home.
The Diamondbacks wipe the Rockies in Arizona last weekend thanks to their relentless attack. Arizona probably chews to face the Rockies again in this four-game set. The opening match will contain a rematch from last Saturday while the Rockies want to ride the attacking momentum from St. Louis.
Bradley Blalock (1-3, 7.89 ERA) takes the ball for Colorado, in search of his last outing that came across the snakes. He lasted 4 2/3 innings and allowed five points on seven hits. His most important battle was allowed the three walks, but he succeeded four strikeouts; The hits just cost him a lot. His last outing at home was not much better, where he got seven points on six hits with four free running in 5 2/3 innings against Pittsburgh. Blalock will have to be careful around the zone, have to throw quality attacks and limit the walks to a minimum.
He will be resisted again by veteran Lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (4-7, 5.68 ERA). The Rockies managed to get Rodriguez in his last last time out. He allowed five points on six hits in 5 1/3 Innings work and gave five walks against two strikeouts. The Rockies had many opportunities and remained in the game until the end, but they will have to ensure that they keep the pressure on Rodriguez with the relievers who follow him.
