Olsen looking for elusive victory

Marlins probable pitcher

Scott Olsen

  • #34 LHP
  • (4-4) 3.47 ERA
Marlins: On Sunday afternoon against the Diamondbacks, Olsen had a solid outing but got little help from his offense in his ninth no-decision. The 24-year-old -- who came into the game with a 2.58 ERA in his last four starts, but an 0-2 record -- gave up just three runs on five hits while striking out four and walking two before leaving the game after seven innings and throwing 104 pitches. His opponent, Dan Haren, on the other hand, held the Marlins to just one run in seven innings. Florida eventually won on a walk-off single by Jorge Cantu.

Rockies probable pitcher

Greg Reynolds

  • #54 RHP
  • (2-6) 5.75 ERA
Rockies: In his last two games, both losses, Reynolds has experienced growth. Two starts ago, he lost to the Mets but lasted seven innings without his best stuff. In his last start, a 4-3 loss to the Tigers, he adjusted to a tight lineup by backing hitters off the plate with inside fastballs. He was charged with four runs in 5 2/3 innings, but two runs scored after he left the game.
