The Colorado Rockies, losers of eight of their last 12 games as the season sputters to its conclusion, open a three-game series at Coors Field tonight against the Cincinnati Reds. The Rockies and Reds split a four-game series in Cincinnati in August. This will be the only meeting between the two teams in Denver, where the Rockies have won ten consecutive matchups. Jhoulys Chacin gets the start on the mound for the Rockies. He’s 11-10 on the season, leading the team in wins. It’s his first start since he was pushed back from his last scheduled outing due to illness. Chacin pitched a complete game in a 2-1 loss to the Reds back on August 11. Chacin will be opposed by Cincinnati’s Homer Bailey, who is 0-2 with an ERA over 7 in four career starts against the Rockies. First pitch in Denver is set for 7:40.
