<h3>Young, Padres look for third straight win</h3>

<div class="pre">Colorado (61-57) at San Diego (64-54) 10:05 pm EDT</div>

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- A night after Greg Maddux kicked offanother shutout win for the San Diego Padres, major league ERAleader Chris Young will take the mound when the team continues athree-game series with the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.

Maddux and three relievers combined to allow nine hits in an 8-0victory on Tuesday, marking the Padres' major league-leading17th shutout.


The Rockies will have an even tougher test with Young (9-4, 2.02ERA), who owns a 4-0 record with a 2.52 ERA in seven careerstarts against Colorado. The 6-10 righthander is coming off hisworse start since April, allowing four runs in six innings totake a loss at the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-0, on Thursday.

Young and the Padres will be looking to shave another game offthe Arizona Diamondbacks' (67-53) lead in the National LeagueWest, which currently sits at two games.


The Rockies will counter with rookie Ubaldo Jimenez (1-2, 6.57).The hard-throwing righthander has lost his last two starts,allowing a total of 15 runs - 11 earned - in 6 2/3 innings.

He made a start against the Padres on July 24, yielding threeruns and four hits, but did not factor in the 5-3 loss.

With Tuesday's setback, the Rockies remained five games behindthe Diamondbacks in the West.
