At 6-6, the Rockies are at .500 at the latest point in the season since 2022, they\u2019re riding a league-high four-game active win streak, and their offense came alive against the Houston Astros.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Now comes the test: can the offense stay alive as they travel down to the Marine Layer to take on the San Diego Padres? The Padres, also at 6-6, are tied for second place in the National League West with the Rockies.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Rockies will be going with an opener tonight, and the man for the job is one Jimmy Herget. The \u201cHuman Glitch\u201d has been excellent to start the season. In five appearances over six innings of work, he\u2019s allowed just one earned run on four hits, struck out six batters, and has yet to issue a single walk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Herget is expected to give way to right-handed pitcher Chase Dollander for bulk innings. Dollander has now pitched in a bulk role twice this season. His last time out against the Philadelphia Phillies he worked 4.1 innings and gave up just one earned run on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On the mound for the swingin\u2019 Friars is the right-handed Randy V\u00e1squez. V\u00e1squez is off to a good start this season with just one earned run given up over twelve innings in his first two starts with 11 strikeouts. Against the Rockies, V\u00e1squez has had mixed results against the Rockies. He holds a 4.30 ERA over six starts and has given up five home runs over 29.1 innings of work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">V\u00e1squez has a hefty seven-pitch arsenal to work with. His primary pitch is a low-to-mid 90s four-seam fastball and he supplements it with a bevvy of breaking pitches. His go-to secondary for the young season is a cutter, and he also throws a sinker, a changeup, a curveball, a sweeper, and a slider.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">First Pitch: 7:40pm MDT<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">TV: Rockies.tv<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Radio: KOA 850 AM\/94.1 FM; KNRV 1150 (Spanish)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Lineups:<\/p>\n<p>Join the conversation!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/auth\/login?itm_medium=sidebar&amp;itm_source=batterypower&amp;returnPath=%2Fauth%2Fsso%3FreturnTo%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.batterypower.com%252F\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sign up for a user account;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Sign up for a user account&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Sign up for a user account<\/a>\u00a0and get:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Comment on articles, community posts<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Rec comments, community posts<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">New, improved notifications system!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Please keep in mind our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.purplerow.com\/pages\/purple-row-rules-and-regulations\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Purple Row Community Guidelines;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Purple Row Community Guidelines&quot;}\" class=\"link \"> Purple Row Community Guidelines<\/a> when you\u2019re commenting.
