Managing to hold on to a narrow victory on Friday, the Colorado Rockies (22-72) aim to win the series against the Cincinnati Reds (48-47) on Saturday. They will certainly be hoping for some better luck from their starter pitcher than the last time he pitched for Colorado.
Bradley Blalock (0-2, 12.94 ERA) will make his first big league start with the Rockies for the in two months. You may recall that his last outing was an ill-fated one on May 10 when he allowed 12 runs on 13 hits in 3 2⁄3 innings against the San Diego Padres in a game they went on to win 21-0.
