The bullpen wasn’t able to hold down an otherwise strong game for the Rockies as they lost 8-5 on Tuesday night. With a chance to win the series against the Diamondbacks, the Rockies will send out their best starter to square off against another Arizona rookie.
Slade Cecconi (0-0, 2.84 ERA) makes his third appearance of the season and his second career start. His last outing came on August 11 when he pitched 1 2⁄3 scoreless innings of relief against the San Diego Padres. The Florida native was originally drafted 33rd overall in 2020 by the Diamondbacks out of college in Miami.
