The Rockies haven't done much well in the first three games of the series. They managed just three hits Wednesday night and got one baserunner beyond second base.
They should get a boost for the final game if, as expected, veteran Charlie Blackmon returns from a stint on the bereavement list. Blackmon, normally a spark at the top of the order, has not played since Sunday.
Blackmon, the longest tenured player on the roster, is hitting .287 with five home runs and 23 RBIs.
Seabold was thrust into the rotation after injuries took their toll, and he will be starting against the Diamondbacks for the first time in his career. In his only appearance against them, he yielded two runs in 3 1/3 innings on April 29.
