October 3, 2017Ahead of Wednesday’s Wild Card battle between the Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks (8 PM ET, TBS), let’s break down some numbers from their previous matchups.
*The D-Backs won the regular-season series against the Rockies with an 11-8 record. Arizona’s Taijuan Walker and Zack Greinke recorded two wins apiece against the Rockies.
*Rockies RHP Jon Gray gets the start in the one-game playoff, which Colorado fans should feel good about considering that Gray went 2-1 against Arizona in 2017.
*Six of Rockies closer Greg Holland’s 41 saves this year came against the Diamondbacks.
*Rockies slugger Charlie Blackmon has been on a tear, but D-Backs RHP Greinke has had success against the NL batting champion with Blackmon failing to record a single homer in 53 plate appearances against the former Cy Young winner.
*In six career at-bats against Gray, new Diamondbacks OF J.D. Martinez has two homers and a .333 batting average.
81 regular season home games in the books, what a season at 20th & Blake.
