DENVER - As with Joe Ross last night, tonight will be right-hander Tanner Roark's first career start at Coors Field. He has gone 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA in his last three starts. Gerardo Parra is 4-for-10 with a homer against Roark in his career. Roark is 2-0 in four starts this season with a 3.65 ERA.

Daniel Murphy went 3-for-5 last night with a career-high-tying five RBIs. He has done that six times, and twice this season. He had five RBIs against the Cardinals on April 11. He is batting .325.

Rockies right-hander Tyler Chatwood allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks but notched the win in his last start. Anthony Rendon is 2-for-3 lifetime against Chatwood. Chatwood is 2-2 with a 4.10 ERA this season.
