Holliday connected on his 31st homer and sixth in his last sixgames on Friday, but the Rockies absorbed a 7-6 loss. It was the second straight loss for Colorado, which dropped 31/2 games behind the San Diego Padres (79-67) in the wild cardrace. The Rockies will turn to the 23-year-old Ubaldo Jimenez (3-3,4.04 ERA), who has not allowed more than three runs since August9. The rookie righthander failed to factor in his last start,a 6-5 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. He yieldedtwo runs and four hits and three walks. Sergio Mitre (5-8, 4.74) will get the start for the Marlins, whohave won three straight contests. The righthander is winlesssince July 29 and Florida has lost the previous five contests inwhich he has taken the mound.
