The Rockies have continued their road struggles, this time against an Arizona squad that dropped 41 of their previous 46 games entering the current three-game set. Colorado will seek to turn things around on the road amidst a 6-33 record away from Coors Field, in hopes of mustering up some momentum before closing the first half in San Diego.
In the continued absence of Austin Gomber, it will be right-hander Chi Chi González filling in this afternoon for his 13th start of the season. González used his fastball and slider almost exclusively in his last start, and the 29-year-old seems to have stepped away from his cutter that was previously his second-most used pitch.
