Eduardo Rodriguez had a decent start against the A’s as well last time out, going 6+ innings and gave up two earned runs. An improvement over his prior start where he gave up five runs to Detroit, but the Sacramento caveat applies. I wonder if we’ll ever find out why the current Diamondbacks regime struggles so hard to evaluate pitchers.

BOTTOM LINE: The Arizona Diamondbacks host the Colorado Rockies on Friday to begin a three-game series. Arizona is 27-30 in home games and 54-61 overall. Diamondbacks hitters have a collective .436 slugging percentage to rank third in the NL.
