The Colorado Rockies’ home win streak looked to be in jeopardy last night until late game fireworks from Garrett Hampson and Elias Díaz brought the Rockies a 5-3 victory. Now the MLB-best home Rockies are on the precipice of yet another sweep at Coors Field, with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the crosshairs.
Starting for the Rockies this afternoon is big Jon Gray. His last two starts were less than ideal, going only 4 1⁄3 innings in each, but in each game he had his strikeout stuff working. Gray is at his best in the comfy confines of Coors Field, and a solid six-inning outing from the big man would go a long way to keep the bullpen rested for the upcoming nine-game road trip.
