The Colorado Rockies conclude their three-game Todd Helton Celebration homestand with the rubber match against the San Diego Padres this afternoon. They won the first game 7-3 on Friday, but then were clobbered 8-3 last night on actual Todd Helton HOF Night. However, Friday’s win clinched the season series against the Friars — something that has happened in seven of the last nine seasons since 2016.
Rookie right-hander Bradley Blalock (0-0, 4.05 ERA) will take the mound for the Rockies this afternoon. In his last outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday, Blalock made his Rockies debut and first MLB start.
