Gray seeks smooth sailing in Marlins opener
(MLB.com Colorado Rockies)

Tonight`s 6:40 MT opener of three games at Coors Field against the Marlins is another chance for Rockies righty Jon Gray (6-7, 5.89 ERA) to get through a start smoothly. That`s been a challenge, as his last two starts demonstrated. On June 12 at Philadelphia, Gray gave up three first-inning runs, but then was dominant for much of his six innings. On Sunday at Texas, he cruised until the sixth -- when two errors with no outs started a five-run mess that had him out of the game before recording an out in the frame. The Marlins will start Wei-Yin Chen (2-3, 5.91 ERA).
