Pitcher's duel likely when Rockies host Giants

May 20, 2008 - 12:51 PM San Francisco (17-29) at Colorado (18-27) 8:35 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) - The Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants are prepared for a pitcher's duel when the teams continue a three-games series on Tuesday.

Aaron Cook (6-2, 2.82 ERA) has been the Rockies best starter this season and is going for his seventh win in his last eight starts. Tim Lincecum (5-1, 1.92) counters for the Giants.

The 29-year-old Cook set a franchise record with six wins in as many starts before having his streak snapped against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.

The righthander allowed a season-high five runs and 10 hits in just five innings - his shortest outing of the year. He struck out six but walked four as the Rockies suffered an 8-5 setback.

Lincecum, 23, surrendered just three runs and five hits in six innings while striking out 10, but did not factor in the decision for the second time in his last three starts during Thursday's heartbreaking 8-7 loss to the Houston Astros.

Thursday's outing also marked the 10th time in 32 career starts that the righthander has struck out at least 10.
