<h3>Helton, Rockies battle Phillies</h3>

Colorado (74-68) at Philadelphia (75-67) 7:05 pm EDT

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- Todd Helton will look to build off arecord-setting night when the Colorado Rockies visit thePhiladelphia Phillies on Monday in the opener of a four-gameseries.


In Sunday's 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres, Helton becamethe first player in major league history to have 35 doubles in10 consecutive seasons. Helton, who is on a six-game hittingstreak, is batting .311 with 12 home runs and 72 RBI thisseason.


The Rockies will send Ubaldo Jimenez (3-3, 4.15 ERA) to themound. The Dominican righthander gave up three runs and sevenhits with two walks and two strikeouts over five innings in a5-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants.


Kyle Lohse (8-12, 4.46) gets the start for the Phillies, who arelooking for their third straight win. Despite being marred ina sub-par season, the 28-year-old Lohse has not lost since July20.


Both clubs have their eye on the wild card-leading San Diego(77-65). Philadelphia sits just two games behind, and Coloradois three games back.
