<p>Two 3-run innings from Chacin doomed a Rockies team to lose today's rubber match against Tampa Bay. This puts the Giants in a position to take over the top spot in the NL West.</p> <p>Three home runs were not enough to overcome a rusty pitching performance, a resurrection of the old Rosario, and a dearth of timely hitting.</p>
<p><span>Jhoulys Chacin</span> gave up 6 runs (only 5 earned) in his seven innings of work in what was his worst outing of the year. He appeared to be a little rusty in the first inning, giving up three singles, a walk, and a wild pitch. He gave up a single to <span>Desmond Jennings</span>, followed by a four pitch walk to <span>Matt Joyce</span>, before getting <span>Evan Longoria</span> to fly out to right. <span>James Loney's</span> line drive single allowed the first run to score, while a wild pitch to <span>Kelly Johnson</span> and another line drive single allowed Joyce and Loney to score.</p>
<p>Chacin returned to form for the next several innings, allowing only one walk and two singles and inducing Evan Longoria to ground into a double play in the third. His ineffectiveness returned in the 6th inning. He allowed one run to score, then a passed ball committed by <span>Wilin Rosario</span> (his first of two of the day) put Loney and Johnson in scoring position, where they were able to score off of a <span>Ryan Roberts</span> double. <span>Josh Outman</span> allowed two more to score in the eighth.</p>
<p>A 3 home run day was not enough to win it in today's game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.draysbay.com/">Rays</a>. All three were solo home runs off of Rays starter <span>Alex Cobb</span>. <span>Michael Cuddyer</span> and <span>Troy Tulowitzki</span> each hit their seventh home run of the year, while <span>Nolan Arenado</span> hit his third since his call up to the major leagues a week ago. In 33 plate appearances, he has struck out as many times as he has hit home runs and is slugging .667. However, the team was 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.</p>

<p>Jhoulys Chacin and Todd Helton both return from the disabled list, as the Rockies take on Alex Cobb and the Tampa Bay Rays in a Cinco de Mayo rubber match.</p> <p>Jhoulys Chacin will return from the disabled list to pitch in today's rubber match against the Tampa Bay Rays. In the four games he has pitched this season, he has allowed only 16 hits and four runs, which is good for a 3-0 record and a 318 ERA+.</p>
<p>From the Denver Post, Chacin <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_23174403/rockies-jhoulys-chacin-pitch-sunday-first-time-since">is feeling good</a> and is ready to go:</p>
<blockquote><p>"I feel really good, really strong. I don't have any problems with my back now. I've been doing extra stretching and working to keep it strong."</p></blockquote>
<p>Today will also see a return of <span>Todd Helton</span> to the lineup.</p>
<p><strong>NL West Watch:</strong> The Rockies are currently tied for first place, a spot they have either been tied for or held sole posession of since April 16th. At one point, they were as many as 2.5 games ahead of the <a href="https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/">San Francisco Giants</a>. If the Rockies lose today, they risk giving up possession of this roost to the Giants. Over the course of a season a win today to hold that top spot isn't actually a big deal. It sure would feel good though.</p>

<p>Nolan Arenado capped off his first week in the big leagues in grand fashion in a win over the Rays on Saturday.</p> <p><span>Nolan Arenado</span> hit a grand slam in the seventh inning and <span>Troy Tulowitzki</span> and Eric Young Jr. had three hits apiece as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.purplerow.com/">Colorado Rockies</a> defeated the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.draysbay.com/">Tampa Bay Rays</a>, 9-3, on Saturday night at Coors Field in Denver, Colo.</p>
<p>Arenado stepped to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning with the Rockies leading by two runs after errors on consecutive two-out plays by <span>Evan Longoria</span> and <span>Ben Zobrist</span>. <span>David Price</span>, who hit the 100-pitch mark after walking <span>Wilin Rosario</span> in the previous at-bat, hung a curveball that Arenado blasted into the center field bleachers, giving Colorado a six-run cushion.</p>
<p>Troy Tulowitzki drove in the Rockies' first three runs with an RBI single in the first inning and a two-run double in the third, which tied the game after Tampa Bay took a 3-1 lead after <span>Kelly Johnson's</span> two-run single in the top half of the inning. Young, who singled to lead off the first and third, scored on both of Tulowitzki's RBI hits.</p>
<p>Rockies starter <span>Jon Garland</span> lasted five innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out a pair of batters and walking one. <span>Edgmer Escalona</span> and <span>Wilton Lopez</span> played a huge part in the Rockies' win, combining for four innings of scoreless relief. Escalona was particularly effective in his two innings of work, striking out two and not allowing a hit.</p>
<p>Price allowed nine runs -- only four earned -- on 10 hits and three walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out five and allowed a pair of home runs.</p>
<p><span>Carlos Gonzalez</span> went yard for the sixth time this year as part of a two-hit evening.</p>
<p><span>James Loney</span> continued his mastery of Coors Field, going 3-for-4 with a double and a run driven in. Longoria and <span>Desmond Jennings</span> had two hits apiece for the Rays.</p>

<p><br>Rays starter David Price has been awfully hittable this season. Unfortunately, the Rockies just can't keep their A-lineup together, as <span>Dexter Fowler</span> will sit tonight with a hip flexor injury a night after <span>Troy Tulowitzki</span> rested due to "heavy legs."</p>
<p>Rockies hurler Jon Garland has endured a rough patch as of late. Will he get back on track against a lineup that scored seven runs last night in a series-opening victory?</p>

<figcaption>Cuddyer smashed his 6th home run of the year in the Rockies loss to Tampa Bay. | USA TODAY Sports</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>It is sort of like the Rockies offense forgot that baseball games go nine innings, instead of five. This memory loss, as well as an uncharacteristic outing from Matt Belisle, resulted in a 10-inning loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in the team's first game of interleague play.</p> <p>First, the good news: The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.purplerow.com/">Rockies</a> were able to peg <span>Matt Moore</span> with his worst start of the year. He gave up a home run to <span>Michael Cuddyer</span> and <span>Josh Rutledge</span>, allowed four runs in five innings, his shortest outing of the year. <span>Nolan Arenado's</span> performance was also noteworthy. He hit two doubles, one of them the game tying double in the fifth.</p>
<p><span>Adam Ottavino</span>, <span>Wilton Lopez</span>, and <span>Rex Brothers</span> held the Tampa Bay offense scoreless in their collective four innings of work. <span>Jeff Francis</span> induced 11 ground-ball outs. Rex Brothers has not allowed a run since April 6th. The bullpen's performance was good enough to win the game <i>had</i> the offense been able to come through.</p>
<p>Now the bad news: Despite the fact that the Rockies were able to peg Moore with his worst start of the year, they were not able to score after the fifth inning. They were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position. <span>Dexter Fowler</span> exited the game after a collision at first and is listed as day-to-day.</p>
<p>Francis continues to not be the pitcher he was in spring training. In five innings of work, he gave up four runs on five hits, with one walk and three strikeouts. He gave up back to back doubles to <span>Ryan Roberts</span> and <span>Ben Zobrist</span>, and a 2 run homer to <span>Desmond Jennings</span>, his second of the year. <span>Matt Belisle</span> had his worst outing of the year and was credited with the loss. In the top of the 10th inning, he gave up a go-ahead single to <span>Evan Longoria</span> and a two run home run to <span>Kelly Johnson</span>, the first home run he has allowed this year.</p>

<p>Interdivisional play for the Rockies begins tonight as the Rockies make their return to Coors field.</p> <p>If the secret for an acceptable 2013 Rockies season could be broken down into a simple algebraic formula, it would be this: Offense which smashes things (especially at home) + Average starting pitching - Injuries Offense? Check. Injuries? Mostly check. Chacin will be back soon, so that part of the equation should be resolved. Starting pitching? Well, Jeff Francis has been our shakiest performer on the mound so far. Tonight could go a long way in rectifying that, or it could spin things the other way. Game time is 6:40 Mountain Time. Go Rockies!</p>

<p>Read about Matt Moore's hot start, David Price's not-so-hot start and more.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.draysbay.com/">Tampa Bay Rays</a> possess a couple of somewhat surprising statistics entering their series against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.purplerow.com/">Colorado Rockies</a> at Coors Field in Denver, Colo.</p>
<p align="center"><i>For more on the Rays, head over to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.draysbay.com">DRaysBay</a>.</i></p>
<p>The offense, which has been average or better over the years but had to overcome significant losses following the 2012 season, is holding steady thus far in 2013, posting a team OPS+ of 100 thanks to help from a resurgent James Loney (168 OPS+), who will no doubt continue his hot streak this weekend (he's a lifetime .326/.374/.558 hitter in Denver). Evan Longoria is also in midseason form, while Ben Zobrist continues to do what he does best and Matt Joyce has helped negate B.J. Upton's departure with a SLG-heavy 107 OPS+. Not too bad for a team that almost gets no-hit on a nightly basis, it seems.</p>
<p>While the offense is holding its ground, Tampa Bay's pitching staff has scuffled to a team ERA+ of 92. Ace David Price is the ringleader for the regression; he possesses very good strikeout and walk numbers, but has allowed more hits than innings pitched -- and has allowed six home runs -- on his way to a 5.21 ERA/73 ERA+. Jeremy Hellickson and Roberto Hernandez (but not this Roberto Hernandez) have endured similar struggles despite having decent peripherals as well.</p>

<p>One guy who has not experienced many valleys to this point in the season is Matt Moore. Moore has struck out more than 10 batters per nine innings and is off to a 5-0 start with a miniscule ERA. That, paired with the solid performance of Alex Cobb thus far, should bode well for the Rays as everything else inevitably returns to the norm for the team.</p>
