The Rockies face the Diamondbacks in the third of a four game series. The game is set to start at 8:10 MT.
The Rockies send David Hale to the mound. Hale makes his eight start of the season for the Rockies. He's been hit hard lately, particularly in his last three games. In three starts since June 18, Hale has pitched 16 2/3 innings and given up 15 runs on 27 hits. One of those starts was agains the Diamondbacks, who tagged Hale for five runs in 4 2/3 innings.
Prior to the season, Hale was a good bet to be either a long reliever or an emergency starter, but due to injury and ineffectiveness he's been thrust into the rotation on a regular basis.
