Rockies finding rhythm after dismal stretch

Jun 12, 2008 - 12:18 PM San Francisco (29-37) at Colorado (26-39) 3:05 p.m. EDT

DENVER (Ticker) -- The Colorado Rockies appear to be hitting their stride.

The reigning National league champions shoot for a three-game series sweep of the San Francisco Giants when the teams meet on Thursday.

Garrett Atkins scored on an error with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday as Colorado claimed a 1-0 victory over the Giants.

The win was the second consecutive and sixth in the last seven games for the Rockies, who had previously lost eight straight contests and are currently 13 games under .500.

Rookie Greg Reynolds (1-3, 5.24 ERA) tries to give Colorado its first three-game sweep of the Giants at Coors Field since May 2002 when he toes the rubber on Thursday.

Reynolds earned his first major league win during his last start, allowing just two runs and four hits while walking two in six innings en route to a 7-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.

Jonathan Sanchez (5-3, 3.70) eyes his fourth win in as many starts when he counters for the Giants.
