Colorado Rockies game no. 1 thread: Clayton Kershaw vs. Germán Márquez

We have arrived! The Colorado Rockies will play an on-time Opening Day this year, welcoming fans to a game at Coors Field for the first time in 550 days.

Colorado will take on the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field in front of 21,363 fans (42.6 percent capacity). The nationally-televised matchup will feature a perennial Colorado ace on the mound against a likely first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Germán Márquez gets his second consecutive Opening Day start in his sixth season with the Rockies. After today, he will tie Ubaldo Jiménez, Jorge De La Rosa, Jon Gray and five others for the Rockies’ all-time lead in Opening Day starts.
