Suppan (8-8, 5.00 ERA) has been struggling of late, going 1-3with a 7.78 ERA in his last seven starts. The righthander hopesto benefit from the fact that the Brewers are an NL-best 31-14at home and have won 13 of the last 17 meetings between theteams.

Suppan may get back on track against the Rockies. He is 5-1with a 3.65 ERA in seven starts against them and beat them threetimes for St. Louis last season.


Milwaukee posted a 2-1 win in 10 innings on Saturday, afterbeing no-hit for 5 2/3 innings by Rodrigo Lopez. Corey Hart hita homer in the sixth to tie it at 1-1 and pinch hitter TonyGraffanino hit a walk-off RBI single to win it.


Colorado, which has lost two of three, will send Aaron Cook(5-6, 4.68) to the mound. Cook has had a rough go of it lately,going 1-5 with a 5.47 ERA in his last eight starts.

Last Sunday, the righthander allowed four runs and a season-high12 hits to Philadelphia.
