NL: CINCINNATI (21-34) at COLORADO (25-29) <h3>Livingston set to make second start of season for Reds</h3> Cincinnati (21-34) at Colorado (25-29), 9:05 pm EDT DENVER (Ticker) -- The Cincinnati Reds will try anything to stop thelosing. On Friday, that will include starting rookie hurler BobbyLivingston. Livingston will take the mound when the Reds visit the ColoradoRockies on Friday for the first game of a three-game series. Cincinnati will be glad to turn the page on May. The Reds went9-21 in the season's second month and now own the NationalLeague's worst record. Perhaps sending a rookie to the mound will give the club thefresh start it clearly needs. Livingston (0-0, 6.75 ERA) was 0-3 with a 3.88 ERA in ninestarts at Class AAA Louisville and struggled in his lone majorleague start this season. The lefthander yielded four runs and10 hits in 5 1/3 innings at the Los Angeles Dodgers but pickedup a no decision on May 13. Despite ranking 26th in the majors in team ERA with a 4.71 mark,Cincinnati has yet to recall top pitching prospect HomerBailey, who owns a 5-1 record with a 1.89 ERA at Louisville. The Rockies will counter with Taylor Buchholz (2-2, 5.58), whohas made six starts this season, going 1-2 with a 5.73 ERA. Buthe has lasted seven innings in each of his last two outings,allowing a total of four runs. Colorado put together a season-high seven-game winning streakbefore dropping its last two contests.
