NL: ARIZONA (0-2) at COLORADO (2-0) <h3>Rockies aim to continue historic roll in NLCS Game Three</h3> <div class="pre">Arizona at Colorado 8:37 pm EDT</div><div class="pre">National League Championship Series Rockies lead, 2-0</div> DENVER (Ticker) - The Colorado Rockies are on a historic roll. Looking to continue their sizzling play, the Rockies aim to takea commanding three-games-to-none lead over the ArizonaDiamondbacks in Game Three of the National League ChampionshipSeries at Coors Field on Sunday. The Rockies are an impressive 19-1 over their last 20 games -with their lone defeat coming here at the hands of theDiamondbacks on September 24. Colorado needed a victory in aone-game playoff against the San Diego Padres just to gain entryto the postseason. It certainly has taken advantage - winning all five postseasoncontests so far. On Friday in Game Two of this series, Willy Taveras drew abases-loaded walk in the top of the 11th inning fromDiamondbacks closer Jose Valverde as the Rockies swept the firsttwo games of the series at Chase Field. Livan Hernandez (1-0, 1.50 ERA) takes the mound for Arizona,which is hoping to snap Colorado's five-game postseason winningstreak. The Cuban righthander bring lots of playoff experiencein this one, including winning the NLCS and World Series MVPawards while with the Florida Marlins in 1997. "You come in here and try to win three games and come back homeand try to win another one," Hernandez said. "That's the onlyreason, you got to come and try and play smart and try to winsome games." The 32-year-old veteran went 11-11 with a 4.93 ERA through 33starts this season, highlighted by a 1-0 mark with a 1.54 ERA infive outings against the Rockies. Colorado will counter with Josh Fogg (1-0, 0.00), who is makinghis fourth career trip to the hill in the postseason. Over 12lifetime meetings with Arizona, Fogg is 6-1 with a 3.71 ERA. "You can definitely feel the energy. That play in the gameagainst San Diego (in the one-game playoff), the energy wasunbelievable," Fogg said. "When this place is packed and loud,it's a lot of fun. You try to step back and regroup and not letit get the best of you. But you definitely feel the energy. "You hear the crowd when you get two strikes. They want astrikeout, fortunately that's not the type of pitcher I am,hopefully they root for ground balls and pop-ups (Sunday)." The 30-year-old went 3-0 over his final seven regular-seasonstarts to post a 10-9 record this campaign. On May 22, Fogg and Hernandez both dazzled but neither managedto pick up the win in Colorado's 3-1 victory. Both allowed justone run in the contest. Despite the Rockies' success in the first two games of thisseries, NL MVP candidate Matt Holliday hasn't stood out. He andteammate Todd Helton each are batting just 1-for-8 in theseries. Taveras has been a huge spark plug for Colorado, which joinedthe 1976 Cincinnati Reds as the only another NL club to wintheir first five games in postseason play. "Willy is good. He's really good," Diamondbacks left fielderEric Brynes said. "He's one of the better center fielders inthe game. Defensively, he brings a lot to that team."
