Today's Matchup - April 18th, 2011

Seth Smith will be held out of the lineup as he deals with a groin strain suffered in yesterday's 9-5 win over the Cubs.

The Rockies will face their first serious test of the year as the defending World Champion San Francisco Giants to Coors for a three-game series. If the Rockies want to prove they're for real, this is the stage to do it on.

The Rockies also optioned pitcher Alan Johnson to AAA Colorado Springs and recalled pitcher Clayton Mortenson from AAA Colorado Springs. Watch for a Minor League Minute later tonight as part of Minor League Mondays - a new feature on the blog dedicated solely to the Rockies' minor league teams.

Game #15 - Esmil Rogers (2-0, 2.77 ERA) vs. Tim Lincecum (1-7, 1.86 ERA)
