The Colorado Rockies begin a four game set on the road tonight against the New York Mets at Citi Field with Alex White on the mound. White (2-6, 5.74 ERA) has struggled as of late, unable to get past the fourth inning in any of his last three starts.
Meanwhile, the Rockies bats will be without Eric Young, who injured a rib-cage muscle last night, as they face Mets ace R.A. Dickey. The knuckleballer is on a Cy Young pace with a 15-4 record and 2.89 ERA.
