After winning more games on the road in July than the months of April, May, and June combined, the Rockies can either win the series this afternoon or walk away with the tie to kick off the month of August.The left-handed Austin Gomber will toe the rubber for the Rockies, making his third start since coming off the IL. His last time out he put together a quality start, pitching six full innings and giving up only two runs while striking out seven. One thing to look out for is the long ball. Since Gomber came off the IL, he’s given up four home runs in two games after not allowing one in the entire month of June.On the bump for the Padres is rookie righty Reiss Knehr.
