The Colorado Rockies are seeking some consistency from their offense. Seth Smith, Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez have all shown signs of being great offensive stars, but have lacked consistency this season. Smith leads the team with a +.300 batting average, while Tulowitzki leads with 14 homeruns. Colorado will send veteran Aaron Cook to the mound. Cook has only made four starts this season, struggling a bit; losing three starts, with no wins. Colorado, who typically plays really well at Coors Field is marred in a 20-20 record at home this season. The Rockies are 6-5 against teams from the American League this season.
