On June 10, 1991, Major League Baseball announced that Denver and Miami would be awarded expansion franchises.
On Thursday, exactly 30 years later, the Colorado Rockies and the Miami Marlins will play the finale of their three-game series. The Marlins posted a 6-2 win in the opener on Tuesday, while the Rockies recorded a 4-3 victory the following night.
That win was a rare one for the Rockies away from Coors Field. They are 5-23 away from home by far the worst road record in the major leagues.
Thursday s pitching matchup will feature Colorado right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez (2-3, 4.84 ERA) and Miami left-hander Trevor Rogers (6-3, 1.97 ERA).
