After dropping the series to the New York Yankees to end a short homestand, the Colorado Rockies are back on the road for nine games. Their first stop is in the Windy City, and the Friendly Confines of historic Wrigley Field. Today represents game one of three against the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs.
Rookie lefty Carson Palmquist will be making his third start of his big league career against the Cubs. Palmquist had a difficult outing the last time he took the mound. He yielded seven runs (six earned) on ten hits and four walks against the Philadelphia Phillies.
