Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The Colorado Rockies kick off their second-half home opener against the Diamondbacks tonight at Coors Field on a high note, after yesterday’s 6-1 win in San Diego, which gave starting pitcher Jason Marquis his league-leading twelfth win. But Jim Tracy and the boys (and you and me) all know that every win counts now, at the beginning of the long stretch to October, especially when meeting two old and close foes, Arizona and San Francisco, one after the other. Still, today’s scheduled starter, the lefty Jorge De La Rosa, is an emerging pitcher with a long string of wins during the last six weeks, and the offense behind him seems to know no bounds.
Go on, see who gives it a ride, all the way to the wild card or beyond: Tonight’s matchup, the first of a three-day stand against the D-backs, starts at 6:40 p.m. at Coors Field; for tickets go online or call 1-800-388-ROCK.
