Holliday looks to keep raking

Dave Fultz / MLB.com
Rockies left fielder Matt Holliday was last year's runner-up for National League MVP, and he just might end up having better numbers in 2008. He has a season-high 14-game hitting streak thus far.

Rockies probable pitcher

Jorge De La Rosa

  • #29 LHP
  • (3-4) 6.58 ERA 55 SO
Rockies: De La Rosa rebounded from two straight poor outings to earn the win against Florida on Saturday. Against the Marlins, De La Rosa gave up three runs on six hits in five innings. He retired the first batter in each of the first four innings, which allowed him to allude any serious trouble. De La Rosa is 2-1 with a 4.90 ERA since returning to the starting rotation on June 14.

Bush's future unclear after Thursday

Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
Dave Bush makes his final first-half start on Thursday against the Rockies. It will be some time before he knows when he'll pitch after that, due to the Brewers trading for left-hander CC Sabathia.

Brewers probable pitcher

Dave Bush

  • #31 RHP
  • (4-8) 4.74 ERA 53 SO
Brewers: In his last outing, Bush had one of his best starts of the season, working quickly through eight solid innings. He allowed just one run on four hits, striking out a season-high seven batters and walking none. Bush was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning, on his way to a no-decision as he left the game with the score tied at 1 after having thrown 100 pitches. The Brewers won the game on a walk-off hit by Prince Fielder, and both manager Ned Yost and Bush were happy with the performance.
