In the very tight and competitive National League West, two of the teams expected to do the most are the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants. On Sunday at 4:05 p.m., these two teams will meet at AT&T Park. Getting the start for the Rockies will be Jordan Lyles, while the Giants will be led by one of their new acquisitions for the season, Tim Hudson.

Lyles is 16-29 with a 5.30 ERA in his brief career. He has made 74 appearances since coming into the league, including 67 starts. Thus far in 2014, he has gone 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA. In 11 2/3 innings, he has given up 10 hits and 3 walks with 5 earned run allowed. Against the current members of the Giants, Lyles has given up 11 hits in 37 at-bats. Michael Morse and Hunter Pence have accounted for the 2 home runs the team has gotten against Lyles.

The former member of the Oakland Athletics and Atlanta Braves will be making his 3rd start of the season. Hudson is also 2-0 in 2014, allowing 2 earned runs in 15 2/3 innings with 11 strikeouts and no walks. He has been lights out and will look to fare better against Colorado than he has traditionally done in his career. The current Colorado roster has a .300 average including Michael Cuddyer’s .308 average and Troy Tulowitzki’s .286 average.
