EDGE Analysis

A Rockies starter with a 2.25 ERA in his first six outings? A painful dose of reality had to be expected, and the D-Backs delivered it all at once. Hoffman held them scoreless through three innings at Coors Field, only to end up on the hook for the first nine runs of a 10-run fourth inning. Still, Hoffman had previously turned in impressive work over the course of his second taste of the majors, and his next start will come on the road Monday against the struggling Giants offense.
