They are 1-3 in Duffy’s four road starts. Kansas City Royals' Chris Getz batting .412 in interleague play and has hit safely in all six road games against NL foes.

Colorado Rockies have won five of nine games from the Royals at Coors Field.

Colorado has also used Jose Lopez, Chris Nelson, Jonathan Herrera and Eric Young Jr. at the position. He also has a long history of injuries, having played fewer than 124 games in six of his first eight seasons. A .265 hitter, Ellis is batting a career-low .217 with one homer and 16 RBIs in 62 contests.
