Today's one of the days we've been looking forward to for months now: the first Cactus League game! The Rockies face their NL West division rival, the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2008, the Rockies won three of 18 games against the Snakes after taking 10 of 18 in 2007. We still have some time until the Rockies and the Diamondbacks play each other in games that matter, but for now baseball's back!
Today's starters are:
Also expected to pitch for the Rockies are Ubaldo Jimenez, Manny Corpas, Alan Embree, Juan Morillo, Jason Grilli, and Ryan Mattheus.
