Hensley aiming for first win vs. Colorado

Apr 21, 2007 - 3:12 PM San Diego (10-7) at Colorado (7-10) 8:05 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) -- The San Diego Padres have not had a problem beating the Colorado Rockies lately, so for Clay Hensley there could not be a better time to pick up his first win.

Hensley (0-3, 12.21 ERA) takes the mound in the middle game of a three-game series on Saturday as the Padres go for their seventh win in the last eight games against Colorado.

Hensley's last two starts have been pretty ugly. He has surrendered 14 earned runs in his last 9 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old righthander pitched his longest outing of the year, but allowed 10 runs and 11 hits in five innings against Chicago in a 12-4 loss on Monday.

The third-year starter is hoping to take advantage of the Rockies cold bats. Colorado has lost two straight and has scored a combined three runs in its last three games.

Hensley will be opposed by Jeff Francis (1-1, 5.60), who is looking to rebound from a poor start his last time out. Francis gave up seven runs and nine hits in five innings against in an 8-0 loss to the Giants on Monday. It was his shortest outing of the season.

San Diego, which is looking for its third straight win, had a season-high 17 hits in an 11-1 series opening win on Friday night.
