Today's Matchup - April 9, 2011

In light of Ubaldo Jimenez's stint on the DL, Greg Reynolds takes the mound for the Rockies for first time in 2011, looking to build on the success he had in AAA Colorado Springs in 2010. Todd Helton should be sitting down again today. He's listed as day-to-day with lower back stiffness, but should be able to avoid a DL trip. Good news for the Rockies.

Morton should be a tough challenge for the Rockies, coming away from St. Louis with a win. Jonathan Herrera, who proved himself last night as a very capable 2-hole hitter, and above average in the field. Catcher Jose Morales will also get his first start in a Rockies uniform behind the plate today. That said, here are today's lineups.
