After a brief five game stint at Chase Field, the Arizona Diamondbacks now head out to the road for six games, beginning with three contests against the Colorado Rockies. Arizona sits at 34-35, four games behind the National League West lead. Colorado is 30-39, in last place but only eight games back. They just took two out of three at Coors Field from the Milwaukee Brewers and like the D’backs, were off on Monday.
