With two weeks to go before their first regular season game of 2017, the Rockies bring the defending World Series champion Cubs to Salt River Fields at 2:10 p.m. MT. Tyler Anderson will get the start for the Rockies against Kyle Hendricks. Anderson is making his fifth appearance of the spring. Last time out on March 12 against the Reds he allowed three runs (none earned) on two hits and a walk in 32⁄3 innings. He threw 60 pitches that day so expect him to go four or five innings today. So far this spring he has a 3.72 ERA and nine strikeouts in 92⁄3 innings. Also expected to take the mound are Greg Holland, Jairo Diaz, and Carlos Estevez.
