<h3>Cook, Rockies seek sixth straight win, face Phillies</h3>



<div class="pre">Philadelphia (43-44) at Colorado (44-43) 3:05 pm EDT</div>

DENVER (Ticker) - The Colorado Rockies look to Aaron Cook tocontinue their impressive winning streak.

Cook and the Rockies aim for their sixth straight victory whenthey face the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

Colorado won its sixth consecutive home series when it defeatedPhiladelphia, 6-3, on Saturday. It also was the eighth straightwin at home for the Rockies, who can reach their longestwinning streak here since collecting 11 in a row at Coors Fieldfrom June 30-July 24, 1996.

Colorado turns to Cook (5-5, 4.54 ERA), who won for the firsttime in seven starts when he allowed three runs - two earned -and seven hits in an 11-3 win vs. the New York Mets lastTuesday.

However, the righthander is winless (0-2) in three career starts(all at home) vs. Philadelphia.

The Phillies counter with Adam Eaton (7-5, 5.67), who looks tosnap his longest winless streak of the season.

The righthander is 0-1 in his last four starts, including ano-decision in a 5-4 loss to Houston last Tuesday. In thatcontest, Eaton allowed three runs and four hits in six innings.

The Phillies, who have lost two straight and four of five, couldalso earn the dubious distinction of becoming the first team inprofessional sports history to collect 10,000 losses, withtheir next defeat.
