Chicago Cubs vs. Colorado Rockies

The Chicago Cubs and Colorado Rockies face off in a National League matchup at Wrigley Field. The Rockies have reached the postseason five times, most notably in 2007 when they advanced to the World Series but were swept by the Boston Red Sox.

The franchise was founded in 1991 as an expansion team, with the name 'Rockies' reflecting Denver's proximity to the Rocky Mountains. Their first home win came on April 9, 1993, an 11–4 victory over the Montreal Expos, with Bryn Smith earning the win.
