The Rockies continue their work against the NL West as the Giants roll into town to kick off a three game set. The Giants are six and a half games back of the division leading Dodgers, having dropped five straight coming into today.
Chris Rusin will take the hill for the Rockies, entering tonight’s game at 4-7 on the season with a 4.94 ERA. Rusin is 0-2 since August 22nd, though his last start in Pittsburgh was an encouraging rebound after one of the worst pitching performances in Rockies history against the Mets.
