De La Rosa is the Rockies’ all-time leader in many pitching categories, including wins (78) and strikeouts (877). He picked up his first win at Chase Field last season on July 5th when he pitched five frames and got the decision in a 6-4 victory. He came into that game 0-7 at Chase Field.

Greinke will make his first start for the D-backs after signing a six-year, $206.5 million-dollar deal during the offseason. In his four starts this spring, Greinke had a 1.88 ERA.
