Jimenez, Perez square off in Game Two

Aug 7, 2008 - 2:13 PM Washington at Colorado (Game Two)

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Colorado Rockies will host the Washington Nationals Thursday in a doubleheader, with Game Two scheduled to begin 25 mintues after the conclusion of Game One.

Ubaldo Jimenez (8-9, 3.61 ERA) will get the nod for the Rockies in the second game, looking to contine his current run of success. The 24-year-old righthander has won his last four starts and is 6-1 with a 1.89 ERA over his past seven outings.

Jimenez began the season 1-6 with a 5.43 mark in his first 13 outings.

The Nationals will counter with Odalis Perez (4-8, 4.16 ERA), who will attempt to help his club find its winning ways. Washington owns the worst record in the major leagues.

The Dominican lefthander yielded a run and three hits with three walks and five strikeouts over 7 1/3 frames in Friday's 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
