Holliday, Rockies aim for sweep of Indians

Jun 19, 2008 - 1:56 PM Cleveland (33-39) at Colorado (30-42), 9:05 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) -- Matt Holliday and the Colorado Rockies will look to complete a three-game series sweep of the Cleveland Indians during Thursday's interleague matchup.

Holliday, who collected four hits in the first two games of the series, has hit safely in 13 of his last 15 games. He is batting .324 with eight home runs and 31 RBI this season.

Omar Quintanilla went 2-for-3 with two RBI and Jeff Baker belted a solo home run as the Rockies posted a 4-2 victory Wednesday over the Indians.

Indians starter Jeremy Sowers (0-1, 7.23) is hoping to contain Holliday and the rest of Colorado's offense as he looks for his first win of the season. He is making his third start since being recalled by Class AAA Buffalo on June 8.

Sowers was tagged for four runs and nine hits over 4 1/3 frames in Friday's 9-5 triumph over the San Diego Padres.

He will be opposed by lefthander Jorge De La Rosa (1-3, 6.89), who tossed five scoreless innings during Saturday's 2-0 win over the Chicago White Sox. De La Rosa did not receive a decision despite giving up just one hit and one walk with a season-high eight strikeouts.
