The Rockies were able to come from behind and win their first game of this road trip last night. Today they look to win a series which would be good since they travel to Arizona where all of their road trips have gone to die this year.Unfortunately, they face the Giants Yusmeiro Petit who is 3-0 and was one pitch from a perfect game in his last outing. In his only appearance against the Rockies this year he gave up two runs and earned the win as the Rockies lost 5-3 on August 27.
For the Rockies, Juan Nicasio will try and continue his dominance of San Francisco. In four games against them this year he is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA. The team overall is 2-2 in his four starts with his only bad outing being his first game of the year against them when he gave up four runs in five innings.
