Jorge de la Rosa had won eight straight starts before losing yesterday. Aaron Cook has a nice little streak going for him, as he has not been saddled for a loss in his last 11 starts, winning seven of them. The Rockies are 9-2 when Cook starts since June 6, but it will be very difficult for those streaks to continue against the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner. It is quite the matchup really. Two top playoff contenders pit their aces (sort of) in the rubber game.
After the Giants won yesterday, the Rockies are back to looking up at San Francisco for the Wild Card lead, so there's extra motivation to derail Phily's prize horse.
Oh yeah, the game will be broadcast on MLB Network.
