<h3>Fogg, Rockies aim to finish trip on high note, face Nationals</h3>



Colorado (49-48) at Washington (41-56) 1:35 pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Colorado Rockies look to Josh Fogg tohelp them finish a long trip on the upside.


Fogg and the Rockies hope to split a four-game series with theWashington Nationals on Sunday.


Colorado absorbed a 3-0 shutout at the hands of Washington onSaturday to drop the team to 5-4 on its current 10-game roadtrip.


To finish the trek at .500, the Rockies turn to Fogg (5-6, 5.15ERA), who is 4-1 in his last eight starts.


The righthander allowed just two runs and five hits in seveninnings in a 6-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Itwas the second straight win for Fogg, who has not won three ina row since June 24-July 5 of last season.


Fogg has had minimal success vs. the Nationals, going 1-3 inseven career starts against the National League East club.

Washington, which has the second worst record in the NL, putsits hopes in Tim Redding (1-2, 4.00), who makes his fourth startof the season.


The righthander, who had been out of the majors all of lastseason, suffered a 4-2 loss to the Houston Astros on Tuesdaywhen he gave up three runs and seven hits - including two homers- in seven innings.


The 29-year-old has yielded three runs or less in his priorthree starts, but has just one victory to show for it as he hasonly reached the seventh inning once.


Redding has faced the Rockies just once, but has no decision vs.Colorado.
