Tsao tries to get Rockies rolling
Colorado (60-61) at Montreal (60-59), 5:05 p.m. MT
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com
The Colorado Rockies started what most likely is their season-defining,
seven-game road trip in less-than-stellar fashion with a 3-1 loss to the
Montreal Expos on Monday.
On Tuesday night, the Rockies hope right-handed pitcher Chin-hui Tsao
shakes his habit of slow starts and gets the club started in the right
direction. Tsao will start against the Expos at Olympic Stadium.
Tsao (2-0) has given up eight runs in his three starts since being called
up from Double-A Tulsa on June 25. All but one of those runs have come in
the first two innings. In two of his three starts, he has given up a homer
to the leadoff batter. However, those leadoff homers occurred at Coors
Field, where the Rockies have demonstrated the offense to easily overcome
falling behind early.
Colorado is 19-42 on the road, and has trouble overcoming any kind of
deficit.
Tuesday will also be a celebration of Far East baseball. Tsao is Taiwan's
first pitcher to appear in the Majors, and the Expos will start Japan's
Tomo Ohka.
Pitching matchup:
COL: RHP Chin-hui Tsao
‧2-0, 4.32 ERA
‧Has never faced the Expos
MON: RHP Tomo Ohka
‧8-10, 4.70 ERA
‧0-1, 3.00 ERA vs. Rockies in 2003
‧0-1, 2.25 lifetime vs. Rockies
Players to watch:
Colorado's Jay Payton won't be begging out of the lineup. Payton is
8-for-12 with three doubles, two home runs and five RBIs against Ohka.
Quotable:
"We're starting to run out of time right now." -- Payton
