Rockies, Blackmon set to welcome D-backs

The Colorado Rockies are heading home after a loss, but hardly hanging their heads.

Despite Sunday's 5-3 loss at the Seattle Mariners, Colorado is 11-4 and off to its best 15-game start since 2013. The club has won all five series it has played this season.

The Rockies will try for a half-dozen series wins when they host the Arizona Diamondbacks, beginning Monday night in the first of a three-game set.

Jon Gray (0-1, 3.31) will make his fourth start for Colorado, facing Diamondbacks lefty Robbie Ray (1-2, 9.45).

Arizona is coming off a 9-5 loss at San Diego on Sunday and sits in last place in the NL West, 5 1/2 games back of the Rockies.
