Rockies’ Carlos Estevez eager to embrace late-game bullpen chance

A door of opportunity has opened for Carlos Estevez and he plans to step through it and take full advantage.

The Rockies’ 29-year-old reliever said he’s in a good place to do that.

“This is a game about consistency, but that wasn’t in there for me at the beginning of the year,” the right-hander said Saturday before the Rockies hosted Arizona at Coors Field. “But I’ve found my way back by just throwing strikes and getting ahead of hitters.

“I’m getting away from walks and giving up free bases. That makes everyone mad. It makes me mad, too.
