A playoff run seems the longest of long-shots right now, but the Colorado Rockies figure they might as well put together another late-season hot streak regardless. The Rockies take a five-game winning streak, their longest since April, into the start of a three-game road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers beginning tonight. The Rockies took two out of three from the Dodgers in Denver last weekend and lead the season series 8-7. Esmil Rogers gets the start for the Rockies on the mound, looking for his seventh win of the season. He’ll be opposed by Ted Lilly for the Dodgers, a southpaw who is 7-2 against the Rockies in his career. The Rockies enter their game tonight nine games out of first place in the National League West and six games back of second place. First pitch is at 9:10.
