In 19 games last season, including 15 starts, he was 3-7 with a 7.10 ERA with 37 walks and 58 strikeouts. He has pitched in 217 career games, including 209 starts, going 72-63 with a 4.19 ERA, walking 392, while striking out 1,002 – nearly a 2.6-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has dominated the Rockies throughout his career, going 3-1 with a 2.34 ERA with 18 walks and 47 strikeouts in eight starts.
The offense has been paced by second baseman Edmundo Sosa. In Wednesday's win over the Rockies, he was 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI. He has had multiple hits in all four games he has played in, and is batting .600 with four doubles and five RBI. In 13 career games against Colorado, he has four doubles, one triple and seven RBI.
