The Rockies and Diamondbacks squared off last weekend at Coors Field, with the Snakes taking the series.

Arizona ended up scoring 19 runs while Colorado scored 11 in the series. Two of the games remained relatively close, so hopefully things can turn in the Rockies’ favor as they are 9-16 on the road. The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, are fresh off a three-game sweep of the scuffling San Francisco Giants and are now 15-9 at home.

Zach Agnos (0-0, 5. 59 ERA) will take the mound as the starter for Colorado. This is Agnos’ first career start as he has only worked as a reliever dating back to his college days.

Manager Warren Schaeffer has liked what he’s seen out of Agnos in a long relief role, and may have been convinced to give him this start after he tossed 4. 1 innings in his last appearance. That outing just so happened to come against Arizona, as he allowed two runs on four hits.
