SEATTLE -- Christian Bergman didn't get a chance to start against his former Colorado teammates during a two-city, four-game interleague series this week.
But the Seattle right-hander will get the opportunity to face another former Rockies teammate Friday night when the Tampa Bay Rays open a three-game series at Safeco Field.
Bergman started out alongside the Rays' Corey Dickerson in the Rockies' organization -- first in 2010 in rookie ball in Casper, Wyo., then in Modesto, Calif., and Colorado Springs, Colo. -- before making their major league debuts with the Rockies.
