Esmil Rogers takes the hill for the Rockies tonight while the team looks for their fourth straight win on the road, and eighth win out of the last nine games. Ubaldo Jimenez threw a very successful bullpen session yesterday, and will throw a 90-pitch extended spring training game tomorrow. If that goes well, he will return on April 18th to face the Giants at Coors Field. Todd Helton is back in the lineup tonight after receiving four days off to recover from lower back stiffness. Manager Jim Tracy said he was held out of yesterday's game to give Helton a little longer to recover, as the team wants to keep him healthy for the long haul. Finally, Dexter Fowler earns his first night off after a successful game yesterday. Ryan Spilborghs will start in center field tonight.
