<h3>Rockies look to continue winning ways against Cardinals</h3>



<div class="pre">St Louis (20-27) at Colorado (23-27) 3:05 pm EDT</div>

DENVER (Ticker) - The Colorado Rockies look to run theirseason-high winning streak to six games when they host the St.Louis Cardinals on Monday.

Colorado has not won six in a row since May 21-26, 2002.

Colorado sends a hot-hand to the mound in Jeff Francis (3-4,4.11 ERA), who is 2-0 with a 1.54 ERA over his last four starts- one of which was against the Cardinals on May 7. The 6-5lefthander did not receive a decision in that game - a 3-2Rockies win - though ahe allowed just two runs and four hitsand three walks in seven innings.

Cardinals starter Kip Wells (2-8, 6.10) finally got back intothe win column in his last start after enduring losses in sevenconsecutive starts. The righthander allowed two runs - oneearned - in seven innings during the Cardinals 5-3 win againstthe Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Wells is 0-1 with a 6.04ERA in four career starts against the Rockies.

Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols had three hits on Sunday in aloss to the Washington Nationals to extend his hitting streak to11 games. During the streak, he is batting .489 (22-for-45)with two home runs, but he's driven in just five runs.

St. Louis has hit just 11 home runs this month, which is fewestin the majors. Five of the long balls have come off the bat ofChris Duncan.
