SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) - The Colorado Rockies begin an important
seven-game road trip Friday against the San Francisco Giants.

The Rockies, who have won three of their last four contests,
follow this three-game set with a four-game series at Los
Angeles.

Colorado is in fourth place in the National League West Division
but just 3 1/2 games behind the first-place San Diego Padres.
San Francisco is another half-game back.

The Rockies' Jeff Francis (8-9, 3.63 ERA) went 3-2 with a 1.85
ERA in July. Francis is coming off a 4-2 loss to the Padres on
Saturday in which he gave up four runs - two earned runs - in
seven innings.

Francis is 1-1 with a 4.32 ERA in three starts against the
Giants this season. In the last one July 4, he yielded one hit
in five scoreless innings of a 6-1 victory.

San Francisco's Matt Morris (8-8, 4.61) is coming off a great
start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Morris allowed
six hits in six scoreless innings but did not factor in the 2-1
loss.

The Giants ended their season-high nine-game losing skid when
they defeated the Washington Nationals, 8-6, on Wednesday.
