Reigning Cy Young Award winner Webb faces Rockies in opener

Apr 2, 2007 - 2:54 PM Arizona (0-0) at Colorado (0-0) 4:05 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) -- Reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Brandon Webb will open the 2007 season in a hitter's park.

Webb and the Arizona Diamondbacks travel to Coors Field to play the Colorado Rockies on Monday.

Webb was 16-8 with a 3.10 ERA last season, but 6-6 with a 3.24 ERA on the road.

The Rockies will counter with righthander Aaron Cook, who struggled last season with a 9-15 record and 4.23 ERA.

Colorado has the potential to score plenty of runs with Garrett Atkins (.329, 29 HR, 120 RBI), Matt Holliday (.326, 34 HR, 114 RBI) and Todd Helton (.302, 15 HR 81 RBI) in the middle of the lineup.

The Diamondbacks look to Chad Tracy (.281, 20 HR, 80 RBI) to lead a lineup that, unlike the Rockies, lacks power. Arizona was 13th in the National League last season with 160 home runs.

Both Arizona and Colorado finished with 76-86 records last season, sharing the basement in the National League West. The Diamondbacks haven't been to the playoffs since 2002, while the Rockies haven't seen the postseason since its lone appearance in 1995.

Arizona won the 2006 season series, 12-7.
