Colorado Rockies vs Chicago Cubs
2:20 PM ET, June 27, 2011
Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
The Colorado Rockies' starting staff has proved erratic in recent games, but Jhoulys Chacin has been a virtual model of consistency this month.
The right-hander will try to finish 4-0 in June when the Rockies play a rescheduled game against the Chicago Cubs on Monday.
It appeared that Colorado (38-39) might earn its eighth win in 11 games Sunday when Juan Nicasio guided his team to a 3-0 lead by retiring the first 13 batters he faced.
The Rockies, however, quickly lost that advantage en route to a 6-4 defeat to the New York Yankees.
The four runs allowed by Nicasio gives Colorado's starters a 6.02 ERA over the last nine games but Chacin (8-4, 2.71 ERA) is 3-0 with a 1.01 ERA his past four outings.
He took a no-hitter into the sixth inning during a 4-3 victory at Cleveland on Tuesday, but also matched a career high with six walks and left without a decision for the first time this month. Chacin allowed one run and two hits while throwing a season-high 115 pitches over 6 2/3 innings.
"He was marvelous, except for a couple speed bumps -- those walks," manager Jim Tracy said.
