Lineup Card: Rockies vs Padres 4-16-12

Colorado Rockies (4-5)

1. Marco Scutaro (2B)
2. Dexter Fowler (CF)
3. Troy Tulowitzki (SS)
4. Todd Helton (1B)
5. Michael Cuddyer (RF)
6. Tyler Colvin (LF)
7. Ramon Hernandez (C)
8. Chris Nelson (3B)
9. Jeremy Guthrie (P)

The usual lineup minus Carlos Gonzalez, who is still recovering from strep throat. We're hopeful to see him back in there tomorrow. 

San Diego Padres (2-8)

1. Cameron Maybin (CF)
2. Will Venable (LF)
3. Chase Headley (3B)
4. Jeremy Hermida (RF)
5. Nick Hundley (C)
6. Yonder Alonso (1B)
7. Andy Parrino (2B)
8. Jason Bartlett (SS)
9. Cory Luebke (P)

The Rockies secured their first series win in 2012 over the weekend against their toughest competition to date, the Arizona Diamondbacks. Needless to say, it would be extremely disappointing if they turned right around and dropped this series to a scuffling San Diego squad. Need at least two, and I don't think it would be too greedy to ask for all three.
