Red-hot Rockies aim for fourth straight win

Apr 7, 2007 - 6:13 PM Colorado (3-1) at San Diego (2-2) 10:05 pm EDT

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- Matt Holliday and the Colorado Rockies already are on the verge of matching their longest winning streak from last season.

The Rockies aim for their fourth straight win Saturday when they visit the San Diego Padres in a National League West Division clash.

Colorado, which finished last in the division in 2006, put together four-game winning streaks on five separate occasions last season.

But thanks to strong starting pitching and a powerful offense led by Holliday, the Rockies have won three straight and can match last year's winning streak with a victory Saturday.

Holliday belted a two-run homer Friday and rookie Jason Hirsch yielded one run and struck out eight over 6 2/3 innings to lead Colorado to a 4-3 victory in the series opener.

Colorado hands the ball off Saturday to righthander Josh Fogg, who makes his season debut. Fogg posted an 11-9 record with a 5.49 ERA last season and has a career 2-1 record with a 5.12 ERA against the Padres.

The Padres counter with veteran lefthander David Wells. San Diego lured the 44-year-old out of retirement in the offseason. He has 230 career wins, but an 0-1 record with a 7.16 ERA against Colorado in three career starts.
