ARI - The Diamondbacks look to win their fifth straight over the Rockies when they play the second game of their three-game series Wednesday at Coors Field. The Diamondbacks are 30-15 against the NL West -- the best record of any team within its own division. The Diamondbacks are 9-1 against Colorado this season, outscoring the Rockies 67-37. Arizona, batting .321 in the season series, has won all four meetings at Coors. After losing a perfect game with two outs in the seventh at San Diego on July 29, Davis has been pounded for 12 runs and 15 hits over six innings in losing his two August starts. On Friday, the left-hander gave up a season-high seven runs, nine hits and four walks in 4 1-3 innings of an 11-6 defeat to Atlanta. This will be Davis' first start of the season versus the Rockies after going 1-2 with a 3.18 ERA in three starts against them last season.
COL - Francis had a 2.84 ERA in three starts versus the Diamondbacks last season, but this year he's posted an 11.25 ERA in losing all three of his starts against them, yielding at least five runs in each outing. In first start since June 28, the left-hander allowed five runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings of a 6-3 loss to Washington on Thursday. He has a 9.19 ERA over his last three starts. "I think it's some bad habits I've picked up," he told the team's official Web site. Conor Jackson lights up Jeff Francis like a Christmas tree. He's 12-for-32 (.375) with four home runs and 10 RBIs. Teammates Chris Young, Stephen Drew, Mark Reynolds and Chad Tracy have averages better than .400 versus Francis. Start your Diamondbacks! ...
