After starting off the season 5-8 against two NL West teams and one from the NL Central, the Rockies will now play their first interleague opponent of the season as they begin a three-game series in Seattle on Friday night.
Austin Gomber (0-2, 6.75 ERA) will get the start for the Rockies. The lefty gave up two homers in six innings in a 3-1 loss against the Padres in his season debut. He didn’t walk any and struck out four, but the two long balls were too much to overcome. He was banged up even more in his second start, a 7-6 loss to the Nationals when he gave up seven hits for five runs (mostly a three-run homer by Stone Garrett) with one walk and five strikeouts in 4 2⁄3 innings.
