True Story: Rox rookie on 243-HR pace! - Rockies.com
Rockies shortstop Trevor Story has yet to fall back to Earth, adding two more home runs to his season total in Friday's home opener against the San Diego Padres.

Mark McGwire weighs in on the rookie's record tear in this article from Thomas Harding of MLB.com, drawing similarities between the ease of Story's swing and his own. McGwire opened the 1998 season with home runs in each of the first four games, a benchmark Story could clear tonight.

Pomeranz 'different' as he returns to Coors Field - Jeff Sanders
Former Rockie Drew Pomeranz will start tonight for the Padres against the team, and in the city, that gave him his first taste of the big leagues.
