Hoffman (5-1) allowed three runs on four hits and three walks with four strikeouts over seven innings and took home the victory Monday against the Reds.
Hoffman has been steady for the Rockies, having allowed more than three runs in a start just once in eight tries, back on June 21 against Arizona (3.2 innings, nine earned runs). Even with the two home runs he allowed Monday night, Hoffman has allowed just five over his first eight starts in the Rockies' rotation. If he can maintain a homer rate like that going forward, he'll be a success in Colorado.
