<h3>Giants look for seventh straight win</h3>

<div class="pre">Colorado (67-65) at San Francisco (61-72) 3:35 pm EDT</div>

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- Even though they find themselves in theNational League West basement, the San Francisco Giants areslowly working their way out. They look to complete a sweep ofthe Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.


The Giants' most recent victory, a 3-1 triumph on Tuesday inwhich Matt Cain won for the fourth time in five starts, enabledSan Francisco to win its sixth straight game.


To prolong the streak, San Francisco will send Noah Lowry (14-7,3.59 ERA) to the mound as he seeks his sixth consecutive winover an eight-start stretch. Perhaps more impressive is that hehas yet to lose in the month of August in his career, going12-0 with a 2.78 ERA in 20 starts.


The lefthander had a little bit of help from his offense insecuring his last win, getting the decision in Friday's 11-6victory against the Milwaukee Brewers even though he surrendereda season-high six runs and a career-worst 12 hits over fiveframes.


Lowry will also need to overcome his history against Colorado,as he is just 2-5 with a 7.02 ERA against in 11 career starts.

In an effort to stave off since June 25-27, the Rockies willturn to Jeff Francis (13-6, 4.32). He is winless in his lastthree outings, following a stretch in which he notched eightstraight wins over an 11-start span.


The lefthander did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5win over the Washington Nationals, surrendering four runs - twoearned - and seven hits over 6 1/3 innings.


Francis is 4-5 with a 5.55 ERA in 12 career starts against theGiants.
