Colorado will play the second game of its three-game series in San Francisco on Wednesday night. The Rockies lost two out of three to San Diego over the weekend, while San Francisco took two out of three against Arizona. This story was published prior to Tuesday night’s series opener between these teams.
Colorado has already been eliminated from the playoffs and is in bad form coming into this series. The Rockies were swept in a four-game series against San Francisco last week before losing two out of three against San Diego over the weekend. Their 13-6 loss to the Padres on Sunday was their final home game of the season. They are now going on the road for a nine-game trip that concludes with six games against the Dodgers. Colorado has the fifth-worst record in the National League and is going to finish in last place in the NL West.

The Rockies have relied on their offense again this year, which is the case virtually every season. They rank sixth in the majors in batting average, hitting at a .256 clip. First baseman C.J. Cron leads the team with 146 hits and 101 RBIs, while designated hitter Charlie Blackmon has 138 hits. They are facing a San Francisco pitching staff that is No. 10 with an ERA of 3.84. Right-handed pitcher Jose Urena is going to be on the mound for Colorado in this game. He allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six across 5.2 innings against San Francisco on Thursday. Urena has posted a 2.12 ERA across 17 innings in his last three starts, but he still has a rough 5.34 ERA overall this season.
