With last night’s heated 6-5 loss to the visiting Colorado Rockies, the Arizona Diamondbacks have now lost 3 straight and will turn to the veteran lefty Madison Bumgarner today to get them back on track. MadBum is not what he once was, with a record of 4-8 and a 3.74 ERA, but in his career against the Rockies he is 18-10 with a 3.39 ERA. Colorado will counter with their own southpaw, Kyle Freeland. Freeland is 4-6 with a 4.43 ERA and has not fared well against the Snakes in his career, with a record of 3-5 and an elevated ERA of 5.17. Take the Rockies out of the mountains and they are just 14-26. Arizona has lost 4 straight to Colorado so they are due.
