It was another disheartening road trip for the Colorado Rockies, dropping five-of-six games on a west-coast swing against the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants. They now sit 31-games below .500 on the road and are 7-23 in their last 30 games. They’ll return home — where they sit 29-38 on the season — to face-off against the Chicago Cubs, who are currently two-games ahead of the Diamondbacks for the second National League Wild Card spot and 1.5 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the top slot.
Taking the mound for the Cubs will be 24-year-old lefty Jordan Wicks.
