Matchup
Slumps don't play favorites. And no rookie is immune. Jeff Francis (4-2, 5.24 ERA) is suffering through this season's first mini-skid, tagged for 11 runs in his past 10 1/3 innings. Frustration ruled after his last start, when Francis admitted he didn't have one pitch he could trust. Eric Milton (3-6, 7.05) doesn't mesh real well with Denver. He's not just a flyball pitcher, he's a long flyball pitcher, surrendering 20 home runs in 60 innings.
