The Colorado Rockies got a win on Thursday and avoided reaching a new low and setting the record for the worst start in the modern era.

Former Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia was a hero for the Colorado Rockies Thursday evening. Down 7-6 in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and the bases loaded, Arcia hit a two-run single to win it against the San Francisco Giants.

Antonio Senzatela (1-10, 6.68 ERA) will start for the Rockies. In his last outing, he came out of the bullpen for the first time since April 27, 2018 against the Miami Marlins after the Rockies elected to use Ryan Rolison as an opener.

The Colorado Rockies plan to activate interim left-hander Austin Gomber, who has not played this season due to left shoulder soreness, and start him on Sunday at Atlanta, manager Warren Schaeffer said on Thursday.

The Rockies picked up their 13th win of the season on Thursday afternoon, staging a dramatic comeback against the San Francisco Giants to secure a walk-off, 8–7 win. It was Colorado's first walk-off win of the campaign, and the team was deservedly fired up in the aftermath.

The Colorado Rockies have a big decision to make when it comes to Jake Bird as the trade deadline gets closer, and could retain the reliever.

BOTTOM LINE: The Colorado Rockies will try to keep a three-game road win streak going when they take on the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta has a 17-14 record in home games and a 29-38 record overall. The Braves have a 25-14 record in games when they record eight or more hits.

Braves right-hander Bryce Elder will put his unbeaten record against the Colorado Rockies on the line Friday when the teams open a three-game series in Atlanta.
