Cook, Rockies seek sixth straight win, face Phillies

Jul 8, 2007 - 1:22 PM Philadelphia (43-44) at Colorado (44-43) 3:05 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) - The Colorado Rockies look to Aaron Cook to continue their impressive winning streak.

Cook and the Rockies aim for their sixth straight victory when they face the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

Colorado won its sixth consecutive home series when it defeated Philadelphia, 6-3, on Saturday. It also was the eighth straight win at home for the Rockies, who can reach their longest winning streak here since collecting 11 in a row at Coors Field from June 30-July 24, 1996.

Colorado turns to Cook (5-5, 4.54 ERA), who won for the first time in seven starts when he allowed three runs - two earned - and seven hits in an 11-3 win vs. the New York Mets last Tuesday.

However, the righthander is winless (0-2) in three career starts (all at home) vs. Philadelphia.

The Phillies counter with Adam Eaton (7-5, 5.67), who looks to snap his longest winless streak of the season.

The righthander is 0-1 in his last four starts, including a no-decision in a 5-4 loss to Houston last Tuesday. In that contest, Eaton allowed three runs and four hits in six innings.

The Phillies, who have lost two straight and four of five, could also earn the dubious distinction of becoming the first team in professional sports history to collect 10,000 losses, with their next defeat.
