The left-hander now has a 4.19 ERA on the season and he has only given up 135 hits in 154.2 innings.

Diamondback outfielder Mark Trumbo has two hits in four at-bats against De La Rosa in his career with two home runs and five RBI. Cather Miguel Montero is just 2-for-14 against him with a walk and five strikeouts.

Last Sunday, Chase Anderson lost his second straight game when he was beaten by the San Diego Padres at home. He pitched five innings in that one and allowed five runs (four earned) on six base hits while striking out five batters and walking four. Anderson has struck out 81 batters in 92.1 innings this year and he now has a 3.90 ERA.

Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is 0-for-5 against Anderson in his career with a walk and a strikeout. Catcher DJ LeMahieu is 1-for-3 against him with a walk and a solo home run.
