The Rockies will counter with Jorge De La Rosa tonight. He allowed four runs in three innings during Wednesday’s loss to the Brewers and could have issues keeping the ball from exiting the field of play at Chase Field tonight.
Arizona was dealt a significant blow on Friday when A.J. Pollock suffered a fracture in his right elbow. He could miss the entire season, which would be a massive loss to a Diamondbacks team that is considered by many to be a sleeper in the National League this season. That said, the D-Backs should have enough offense to cruise to victory today versus the Rockies.
