Rockies | Jhoulys Chacin, Jeff Francis could have longer leash

Colorado Rockies SPs Jhoulys Chacin and Jeff Francis are candidates to have higher pitch-count ceilings in their starts, according to manager Jim Tracy. SPs Drew Pomeranz, Alex White and Tyler Chatwood will continue to be limited down the stretch. "There are some learning points," Tracy said. "I know that none of these young starters that we have want to be taken out of the game after three innings. I'm OK with that. Pitch better. Pitch more consistently, and I won't take you out."
