Cook, Rockies look to build on home success

Jul 3, 2007 - 1:55 PM NY Mets (46-35) at Colorado (40-43) 8:05 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) -- The Colorado Rockies are glad to be home after a horrendous road trip.

Colorado's Aaron Cook takes the mound in the middle game of a three-game series with the New York Mets on Tuesday.

Colorado won the opener, 6-2, as Matt Holliday hit a three-run home run as part of a six-run third inning. Prior to Monday, the Rockies had finished a franchise-worst 1-9 road trip.

The Rockies are glad to be back home, where they have won eight of their last nine games.

Cook (4-5, 4.70 ERA) is winless in his last four starts but showed signs of progress in his last outing. The righthander allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings against Houston on Saturday.

New York, which lost for the just the second time in 10 games, sends Jason Vargas to the mound in place of the injured Oliver Perez. Vargas (0-0, 6.43) was called up from Class AAA New Orleans when Perez landed on the disabled list with a sore back.

Vargas made one start this season, yielding five runs and six hits in seven innings against Chicago on May 17.
