Morales tries to get Rockies back on track

Apr 12, 2008 - 1:27 PM Colorado (4-6) at Arizona (8-2) 3:55 pm EDT

PHOENIX (Ticker) - Franklin Morales looks to continue his success on the road Saturday when the Colorado Rockies continue a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Morales (0-0, 0.00 ERA) posted a 2-1 record and 2.05 ERA in five road starts for the Rockies last season after being called up to the majors in August.

The 22-year-old lefthander was impressive in his lone start this season, which also came against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Morales surrendered two hits in six scoreless innings while striking out two, but did not factor in the decision as the Rockies lost, 5-2, in 10 innings.

Colorado needs a strong outing from its young lefty on Saturday after suffering an 8-2 drubbing against Arizona in the series-opener on Friday.

Dan Haren (1-0, 3.00) takes the mound for the Diamondbacks on Saturday, seeking his second consecutive win.

The 27-year-old righthander allowed three runs - one earned - and six hits in six innings to lead Arizona to a 9-3 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday.

The outing was Haren's first at home after he was acquired by the Diamondbacks from the Oakland Athletics in an eight-player deal this offseason.
