Rockies face Dodgers in finale of four-game series

Sep 20, 2007 - 1:23 PM LA Dodgers (79-73) at Colorado (80-72) 3:05 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) - The Colorado Rockies may not make the playoffs this season, but at least they're making sure the Los Angeles Dodgers watch the postseason from home as well.

With each team having fading playoff hopes, the Rockies and Dodgers meet in the finale of a four-game series Thursday.

Derek Lowe (12-12, 3.71 ERA) will take the hill for the Dodgers. The veteran sinkerballer is no stranger to playoff races, having appeared in the postseason five times, including last season with Los Angeles.

Lowe showed no ill effects from a bruised hand that had forced him to miss a start last Saturday against Arizona, picking up a win with seven innings of one-run baseball. He allowed just four hits and struck out five.

The Rockies will counter with rookie Ubaldo Jimenez (3-4, 4.13). The 23-year-old righthander is 0-2 over his last four starts despite having allowed three runs or less in each.

In his lone start against the Dodgers this season, Jimenez surrendered two runs and four hits over six innings to earn a win on July 29.
