Colorado Rockies will turn to Jhoulys Chacin on Tuesday as he takes the mound for the first time in over a week after being hit hard in a 7-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs last Monday. He allowed six runs and gave up three homers in five innings. The three homers were a career high and the six earned runs tied a career worst. They could certainly use him against a Braves team that has posted a 2.54 ERA over the last 14 games. They were already without Gonzalez, who bruised his right wrist when he ran into the center-field wall Sunday against Kansas City. They have dropped two straight, lost Tulowitzki to tightness in his right quadriceps after he grounded into a double play in the fourth inning.
Atlanta Braves' Derek Lowe won for the first time in 10 starts after giving up one run and four hits in six innings of a 5-3 victory over Seattle on Wednesday. He was 0-3 with a 5.29 ERA over the previous nine starts. He is 9-8 with a 4.37 ERA in 20 starts against the Rockies. Atlanta Braves were also short-handed Monday, as Chipper Jones sat out after having a cortisone shot in his sore right knee. He expects to be back in the lineup Tuesday. Braves' Tommy Hanson pitched seven strong innings Monday and Freddie Freeman homered twice to drive in three runs. Watch Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves Game Live TV Channel ROOT and FSS.
