PHOENIX -- This has happened to Tyler Matzek when he's been on the mound before. The cramps in his legs come in waves, and there's nothing to be done about it at the moment except opt out of the game.
It happened, he said, last year, and Rockies trainers told him to take more potassium and magnesium. It happened again on Monday night.
"Eat more bananas. Drink more water," Matzek said after the Rockies hung on to defeat the D-backs, 5-4. "The dry air here just sucks it all out of you."
Matzek was sailing along with a 5-2 lead when he took the mound to start the bottom of the sixth inning.
