DENVER, Colo. — We’re just about two and a half weeks removed from the All-Star Break and the Rockies are sitting at 31-44 with a 25-16 home record and an MLB-worst 6-28 road record. The bullpen ERA is 5.25; the starter ERA is 4.69; and the team batting average is .245. However, beyond the bad team stats, there are some good individual storylines with this team. Three relievers made their major-league debuts this year, and they are relishing the opportunity to be big leaguers.
Ben Bowden (No. 13 PuRP) was the only lefty reliever to break camp with the Rockies, making his first Opening Day roster.
