The Colorado Rockies are on the road to face the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday afternoon. The Rockies spent the first two games of the Cactus League at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick and went 1-0-1 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ben Paulsen played the hero on Monday with a walkoff home run in the bottom of the ninth for the 6-5 victory.
On Tuesday, the Rockies have their travel squad lineup against the Cubs. Four expected Opening Day starters (Dexter Fowler, Michael Cuddyer, Ramon Hernandez and Casey Blake (his first game of the spring)) are in the lineup today.
Guillermo Moscoso, acquired in the Seth Smith trade from the Oakland Athletics, makes his Rockies debut. He is heavily favored to win the No. 5 spot in the rotation. He and the rest of the Rockies can be heard through MLB.com Gameday Audio for the WGN call (if you aren't in Chicago). First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. MT.
