Rockies update: Since facing the Diamondbacks last weekend, the Rockies headed out on the road for a series in Los Angeles, where they dropped the first two games of a three-game set with the Dodgers. They entered Wednesday’s series finale at 35-46, matching their season-high at 11 games under .500. 1B C.J. Cron was the hero for the Rockies in their win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday at Coors Field, where he slammed a pair of three-run homers in a 6-5 victory. For Cron, a product of Mountain Pointe High in Ahwatukee, the home runs were the first of his career against his hometown team. LF Kris Bryant, who has missed time due to injury this season, finally connected for his first home run with his new team, hitting a solo homer on Tuesday night. He is hitting .293 with a .730 OPS. RHP Daniel Bard has a 2.05 ERA in 30 2/3 innings, with 15 walks and 38 strikeouts. He has converted 16 of 18 save opportunities, including on Sunday vs. the Diamondbacks.
