Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
They'll now try for their first series win over the Dodgers in nearly two years. Since taking the first two games of a three-game set at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 19-20, 2008, Colorado has lost 22 of 30 against Los Angeles.
The Rockies also hope to end a frustrating pattern of inconsistency this month. They've alternated wins and losses in their 15 August games.
Another win would require ending a troubling trend involving Jorge De La Rosa (4-3, 4.99). The Rockies are 0-8 against the Dodgers when the left-hander pitches, with De La Rosa going 0-5 with a 6.56 ERA in seven starts and one relief outing.
Matt Kemp is 9 for 18 with two homers against De La Rosa, while James Loney is 8 for 15 with a homer.
Lilly hasn't faced the Rockies since April 13, 2009, when he held Colorado to one hit in 6 2/3 innings of a 4-0 win while with the Cubs.
This will be Colorado's first game without Brad Hawpe, who had been with the team since 2004. The struggling outfielder was released following Wednesday's game.
