May 9, 2008 - 12:50 PM Colorado (14-21) at San Diego (12-23) 10:05 pm EDT

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) - Nothing has gone right for the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres except the performances of Aaron Cook and Jake Peavy.

The Rockies and Padres aim to turn the corner on their early struggles when they open a three-game series on Friday.

Colorado has won back-to-back games following a 2-9 stretch. The consecutive victories are the Rockies first since putting together a four-game win streak from April 16-19.

Cook (5-1, 2.40 ERA) has been the one bright spot for the Rockies and goes for his sixth win in as many starts on Friday.

The 29-year-old righthander allowed just two runs, nine hits while striking out two in 7 2/3 innings to lead Colorado to a 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Padres have lost four straight contests and posted just a 2-7 record on their recent nine-game road trip.

The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, Peavy (4-1, 2.22) has carried his dominance into 2008.

The 26-year-old righthander surrendered just two runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings en route to a 7-2 victory over the Florida Marlins on Saturday.
