(Best E Casino) - Right-hander Josh Fogg faces the team he played with in the 2007 World Series today, when the Cincinnati Reds close out a three-game series with the Colorado Rockies at Great American Ball Park.

Fogg, who came to the Reds as a free agent in the offseason, began 2008 as a starter before heading to the bullpen due to ineffectiveness. He endured a stint on the disabled list afterward and has since been moderately successful, including a victory against the New York Mets on July 19.

In his three recent starts, the 31-year-old Massachusetts native has given up 15 hits and five earned runs in 17 1/3 innings.

He is 3-2 in six career starts against the Rockies with a 4.54 earned run average in 33 2/3 innings.

Colorado righty Ubaldo Jimenez has won two straight starts and five of his last seven.

The 24-year-old was 1-7 after a 7-1 loss to Atlanta on June 16, but rebounded five days later with a 7-1 victory over the New York Mets and has seen his team score at least four runs in five of seven starts.

He tossed a complete game in his last start against the Los Angeles Dodgers allowing just four hits and a run in 10-1 victory on July 22.

Jimenez is 1-7 in 11 road starts this season and has never faced the Reds.

On Saturday, Jorge De La Rosa was solid on the hill and helped his own cause with a two-run single, as the surging Rockies downed the Reds, 5-1.

De La Rosa (5-5) gave up one run on two hits with eight strikeouts and five walks over 6 2/3 innings to get the win. Manny Corpas and Taylor Buchholz combined to toss 2 1/3 frames of no-hit ball in relief.

Yorvit Torrealba and Troy Tulowitzki each had two hits and drove in a run for Colorado, which has won eight of its last nine games. Brad Hawpe, Ian Stewart and Garrett Atkins collected two hits apiece, with Atkins and Stewart scoring a run.

Homer Bailey (0-4), the seventh overall pick in the 2004 draft, went just 4 2/3 innings and was touched for five runs -- four earned -- on 15 hits to absorb the loss for Cincinnati, which has dropped all six games in which he's appeared this season. Four relievers combined to allowed just one hit in 4 1/3 innings of relief.

Ken Griffey Jr's 14th home run of the season provided the scoring for the Reds, who have lost four of their last six games. Adam Dunn recorded the other hit for Cincinnati - a lead-off single in the seventh.

These teams are facing one another for the first time this season. Colorado won four of six encounters with the Reds in 2007, but Cincy went 5-1 against the Rockies the previous season.
