The Rockies went 5-2 against the Cubs last season, with Colorado's pitchers holding Chicago's batters to a .195 batting average in the series. The Rockies picked up their fifth all-time home shutout against the Cubs in the last game played between these teams in Colorado (3-0 on May 10, 2017).

The Cubs defeated St. Louis 8-5 on Thursday, improving to 7-1 this season when they score at least five runs in a game. In contrast, they are just 1-7 when they score four or fewer runs.

Of the Rockies' 76 total runs this season, 40 of them have scored via a home run. That 52.6 percentage ranks second highest in the majors (Cle, 53.6%).

Charlie Blackmon (10) and DJ LeMahieu (11) are one of three pairs of MLB teammates to each have 10+ extra base hits this season. Blackmon (86) finish fourth in the majors in XBH in 2017, just behind teammate Nolan Arenado (87), who ranked third.

Yu Darvish has had little trouble getting through the first four innings of his starts this season (2.25 ERA, .167 opp BA), but the fifth inning has been a very different story (31.50 ERA, .600 opp BA).

This will be Jon Gray's first career appearance against the Cubs. He has not fared well versus NL Central opponents in his career, going 2-2 with a 7.59 (36/42.2) ERA and a .346 opponent batting average in nine career starts.

DENVER -- The Colorado Rockies welcome back All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado but could be facing some roster decisions on Friday before starting a series against the Chicago Cubs.
Arenado completed a five-game suspension on Wednesday, when the Rockies lost 10-2 at Pittsburgh to end a 5-2 road trip that began in Washington. The Rockies were off Thursday after playing 17 consecutive days.
