After last night’s 3-1 victory, the Rockies now prepare to wrap up their final homestand of the year in an afternoon game against the Nationals. At 47-33 at home, the Rockies have played spectacularly all year long at Coors Field. A 48th win would give them a nice bookend to another season at Coors. We’d also be remiss to not acknowledge that today’s game could be Trevor Story’s final home game as a member of the Colorado Rockies.
What we do know for sure is that the right hander Paolo Espino (5-5, 4.01 ERA) is set to make his 19th start of the season for the Nationals.
