The Rockies began the day by announcing a two-year contract extension for Daniel Bard. They’ll try to celebrate the news by besting the Dodgers, who have taken the first two of a four-game series at Coors Field. This will be a rematch of a pitching matchup that took place in late June - a game the Rockies won.
Old foe and future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw (7-2. 2.49 ERA) will be handed the ball for LA to make his 390th career start. His last outing against Colorado was in June in a losing effort as he allowed six earned runs on nine hits and four walks in four innings.
