Bob Melvin sends Batista to the hill
The Rockies have won 4 in a row on the road. The Diamondbacks want to hand them a losing streak instead.
The Rockies start Jeff Francis, 0-1, 10.39 ERA, while the D-backs turn to Miguel Batista, 1-0, 2.57 ERA.
Colorado takes its 5-2 mark to Arizona to battle the 3-4 Diamondbacks today.
The Diamondbacks (3-4) opened as 140 favorites and they host a Rockies team that has won 5 of their 7 games this season. The total opened at 9.
Clint Hurdle's team was busy last game winning against the Diamondbacks 6-5 as underdogs. The 11 runs sent that game over the total of 10.
Arizona's hitting hasn't been much to write home about, as they are averaging just 7.9 hits per game on the season, ranked #14 in the National League.
COL: J. Francis (0-1, 10.38)
ARI: M. Batista (1-0, 2.57)
