Rockies Seek Second Straight Series Win
Colorado sits at the bottom of the NL West and hopes to take their second straight series on this west coast road trip. They most recently took two out of three from the San Francisco Giants after being swept by the Atlanta Braves at home in the previous series.

C.J. Cron is the Rockies’ leader at the plate with 14 home runs and 41 RBIs. Jose Iglesias is batting .306 to top the team in average.

They are 36-22 and hold the third-best record in the National League. They have been hot as of late, winning six of their last seven after being swept by the St. Louis Cardinals in their series last week.
Manny Machado is the offensive leader in all major categories for the Padres, hitting .332 with ten home runs and 37 RBIs. With his seven wins, Musgrove is the pitching leader for San Diego and also leads the team in strikeouts with 72. Nick Martinez takes the mound for the Padres and is 2-3 with a 3.99 ERA on the season.
