Rockies RHP Chad Bettis (4-4, 5.46 ERA) at Padres RHP Andrew Cashner (2-5, 4.79), 8:10 p.m. Saturday, ROOT; 850 AM
Phrases such as “that was unacceptable” or “simply not good enough” have made up Bettis’ postgame talking points of late. He knows the Rockies are counting on him to be much better than he was in his last start, when he allowed six runs in 3u2154 innings in a loss to Cincinnati. Over his last two starts, Bettis has allowed 13 runs in 8u2153 innings and has seen his ERA soar from 3.89 to 5.46. Cashner was activated from the disabled list before his April 24 start at San Francisco.
