Final
Holliday, Rockies continue wild card push
Sep 15, 2007 - 2:45 PM Florida (64-83) at Colorado (76-71) 8:05 pm EDTDENVER (Ticker) - Matt Holliday hopes to continue crushing the ball when the Colorado Rockies host the Florida Marlins on Saturday in the second of a three-game series.
Holliday connected on his 31st homer and sixth in his last six games on Friday, but the Rockies absorbed a 7-6 loss.
It was the second straight loss for Colorado, which dropped 3 1/2 games behind the San Diego Padres (79-67) in the wild card race.
The Rockies will turn to the 23-year-old Ubaldo Jimenez (3-3, 4.04 ERA), who has not allowed more than three runs since August 9. The rookie righthander failed to factor in his last start, a 6-5 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. He yielded two runs and four hits and three walks.
Sergio Mitre (5-8, 4.74) will get the start for the Marlins, who have won three straight contests. The righthander is winless since July 29 and Florida has lost the previous five contests in which he has taken the mound.
