Lopez makes return to Baltimore

Jun 9, 2007 - 2:05 PM Colorado (29-32) at Baltimore (29-32), 7:05 pm EDT

BALTIMORE (Ticker) -- Rodrigo Lopez faces his former team for the first time when the Colorado Rockies visit the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.

Lopez (2-0, 2.96 ERA) pitched for the Orioles from 2002-06 before being traded away in January. The righthander was roughed up in his last start against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, allowing four runs - three earned - and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Baltimore starter Jeremy Guthrie (3-1, 2.76) has yet to lose in eight starts since moving from the bullpen to fill the spot of injured starter Jaret Wright. The righthander is 2-0 with a 1.66 ERA as a starter.

Nick Markakis hit a two-run home run as the Orioles defeated the Colorado Rockies, 4-2, here on Friday. Markakis has a hit in eight of his last nine games.

Neither manager was around to see the end of Friday's game - Baltimore's Sam Perlozzo was tossed for arguing a balk call for and Colorado's Clint Hurdle was ejected by for arguing balls and strikes.

Colorado's Willy Taveras has a 13-game hitting streak.
