Colorado's Jordan Lyles (3-0) takes the mound Wednesday with the league's #1 hitting offense behind him, aiming to pitch well  against the worst pitching team in baseball. Arizona's Josh Collmenter (1-2) will try to stop the bleeding, building on 6 shutout innings his last time out. For Lyles the change of scenery from Houston to Colorado has been a successful one as he's allowed 2 runs or less in 3 of 5 starts. Lyles allowed just 2 ER in 7 innings against the Dodgers his last time out, lowering his ERA to 2.93 despite getting a no-decision.

Lyles has made 3 starts against Arizona in his career, going 0-2 with a excruciating 10.43 ERA. The Diamondbacks have scored 22 runs in his 14.2 innings and are 18 for 40 combined (.450). Lyles catches a break with D'Backs LF Mark Trumbo on the DL as the slugger has hit 3 HR in 9 career AB's against the pitcher.

Collmenter makes his 4th start since coming out of the bullpen to take struggling starter Randall Delgado's spot in the rotation. Collmenter allowed 7 runs in 10 innings over the course of his first two starts but buckled down nicely by allowing 0 ER in 6 innings against Philly.

Collmenter made 7 bullpen appearances against Colorado in 2013, allowing 5 runs in 8.2 innings for a 5.19 ERA. Rockies LF Carlos Gonzalez has made an impact, going 4 for 10 with a HR against the right-hander. The combined batting average of the team is just .236 against him.
