The Rockies (40-36, 1.5 GB of San Francisco for the Wildcard) will try to improve on their 1-9 record in games against the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight at Chavez Ravine. After last night's heartbreaking loss, the Rockies really need to get the bats going in an effort to avoid using bullpen arms tonight. They've faced Chad Billingsley once so far this season, scoring three runs off of him in 6 innings, while striking out six times in a loss.
VS.
Good looking lineup for the boys in purple tonight, I'd say.
GO ROCKIES!
