Walt Weiss has tabbed Jorge De La Rosa as the Colorado Rockies Opening Day starting pitcher. De La Rosa will face off against the Arizona Diamondbacks newly acquired ace Zack Greinke. The two pitchers will start their season at Chase Stadium in Phoenix on April 4th at 7:40pm MDT.
Zack Greinke, the former AL Cy Young award winner, is coming off a fantastic year with the Los Angeles Dodgers where he posted a minuscule 1.66 ERA. Zack placed second last year in the NL Cy Young vote, losing out to Chicago’s Jake Arrieta.
