=== Colorado Rockies Team Report - May 29 === (My Sportsbook) - The Colorado Rockies will attempt the series sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers today in the finale of a three-game set at Coors Field. The Rockies have not completed a series sweep since April 18-20 when they swept the San Diego Padres at Coors Field. Last night, Mark Sweeney ended 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and two runs scored and Shawn Chacon tossed eight shutout innings in Colorado's 6-0 win. Chacon (7-2) yielded just two hits, struck out seven and walked a batter. The righthander has won his last three starts. Jose Hernandez added two hits and a run scored for the Rockies, who have won four straight contests. The Rockies will send righthander Scott Elarton to the mound this afternoon. Elarton was called up from Colorado Springs in the Pacific Coast League on May 24th. In his lone start this season, Elarton was defeated by the San Francisco Giants at Coors Field. In that contest, Elarton allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings. Elarton is 1-0 against the Dodgers in three career starts and has an ERA of 3.60 in those contests. Preston Wilson, who leads the Rockies in home runs with 12 and RBI with 47 is in a 6-for-36 slump. |
