When it comes to home vs. road disparities, the Rockies find themselves in familiar territory this season. The Rockies are 13-17 at Coors Field (.433 winning percentage) and 11-27 on the road (.289). With eight more road games than home ones, the Rockies will begin their longest homestand of the season — a 10-game stint against the Pirates, Dodgers and Nationals — on Friday night against Pittsburgh.
Outfielder Nolan Jones was placed back on the roster earlier Friday after being on the IL since April 29 first with a lower back strain and then a knee injury suffered during a rehab game.
