A six-game winning streak had the Colorado Rockies making a run at the National League’s top wild card, but back-to-back losses has them looking over their shoulders again. Colorado plays its next nine games against NL West doormats San Diego and San Francisco, beginning Friday night with the first of three contests against the visiting Padres.
The Rockies had pulled within three games of Arizona before closing out an eight-game road trip with consecutive losses to the Diamondbacks, cutting their lead for the second wild card to 2 1/2 games over St. Louis and Milwaukee. Before the bats went quiet in the last two games against the Diamondbacks, Colorado averaged just over six runs during the winning streak. Gerardo Parra, who had two hits Thursday, went 9-for-12 as the Rockies scored 36 runs in a three-game sweep of San Diego in mid-July. The Padres have dropped three in a row and were outscored 19-1 in a two-game set at Minnesota to drop to 26-46 away from home.
Richard is coming off a strong performance last time out against the St. Louis Cardinals, tossing six scoreless innings while allowing five hits to earn his seventh win. The 34-year-old veteran had allowed at least three runs in nine of his previous 10 turns, posting a 1-5 record in that span. Richard had a dreadful outing at Colorado on July 19, when he was ravaged for 11 runs and 14 hits in 3 2/3 innings.
Chatwood will make his third start since he was shifted back to the rotation and will look to build on a solid effort against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. He permitted five hits over five scoreless innings to record his first victory since June 8. Chatwood gave up five runs over 5 1/3 innings in a loss at San Diego on May 2, but he beat the Padres with eight innings of one-run ball on June 3.
WALK-OFFS
1. Rockies SS Trevor Story exited Thursday’s game with what turned out to be a cramp in his right hamstring.
