Rockies aim for fourth consecutive win

Jun 16, 2007 - 1:25 PM Tampa Bay (29-36) at Colorado (34-33) 8:05 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) - The Colorado Rockies will try to push their winning streak to four games when they host the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Saturday.

Rodrigo Lopez pitched six effective innings and Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe delivered back-to-back homers as the Rockies posted a 12-2 in Friday's series opener.

Matt Holliday drove in four runs and Todd Helton had three RBI for Colorado, which is above .500 mark for the first time since April 9.

Colorado's Jason Hirsh (3-6, 4.48 ERA) is coming off his best outing of the season. The 6-8 righthander yielded one run and five hits for a complete-game victory at Baltimore last Sunday.

Hirsh will be making his first career appearances against the Devil Rays.

Tampa Bay gives the ball to Andy Sonnanstine (1-0, 5.14), who is also enters after an impressive start. He limited Florida to two runs and and seven hits in seven frames in a 9-4 triumph.

The Devil Rays have dropped three in a row since winning five of six.
