The Dodgers will face the Rockies for the first time this season, opening up a three game series tonight at home at 7:40.
The Dodgers, Rockies, and Giants have all been teetering between the second, third, and fourth place spots in the NL West, so this series is key for the Dodgers to make some ground to place themselves above the Rockies and closer to the first place Dbacks.
Tonight’s matchup is Hiroki Kuroda and Ubaldo Jimenez. Both are 1-2 on the season.
