(Sports Network) - As the team with the fewest wins in all of baseball, the Colorado Rockies try to snap an unsightly six-game slide tonight as they continue their interleague series with the Minnesota Twins at Coors Field.

Since winning three straight, Colorado has gone cold and is now 12 games off the pace in the National League West. With Friday's 4-2 setback in the series opener, Colorado is now just 7-11 at home this season.

Clint Barmes had three hits last night, including both a double and a triple, but his efforts failed to get the Rockies into the win column. Starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez was saddled with his fourth loss in five decisions as he allowed three runs on eight hits over seven innings of action.

On the other side of the ledger it was Nick Blackburn who recorded the win for Minnesota, his fourth of the year. Blackburn gave up two runs as he struck out five through seven innings. Joe Nathan closed out the night to pick up his 13th save of the campaign.

Delmon Young tallied three hits and scored twice for the Twins, while Adam Everett rose above his mediocre .183 batting average to plate a pair of runs for the visitors who are now just a half game out of first in the AL Central, trailing only Cleveland following the end of a three-game slide.

Vying for his seventh win of the season already, Livan Hernandez takes the hill for the Twins tonight. The 13-year veteran, now with his sixth major league club, has won three straight decisions for Minnesota, his lone setback coming in the team's 10-0 loss to Texas last month.

On Monday Hernandez matched a season-low with just a single strikeout, while permitting 10 hits and three runs over the course of six innings in a 7-3 victory versus Boston at home.

The right-hander currently sports a 7-8 career record against Colorado over 24 games.

As for the Rockies, they are handing the ball to rookie Greg Reynolds this weekend. Reynolds, the sixth overall pick in the 2006 draft, made his first career start with Colorado last week, suffering the loss in a 6-1 setback versus San Diego on the road.

The 22-year old hurler was touched for four runs on six hits, two of which were home runs, over the course of 5 2/3 innings.

The only staff in the NL without a shutout so far this season, the Rockies have the second-worst ERA in the league at 4.77. From an offensive standpoint, Colorado is also second-to-last in the league in terms of home runs with only 28 over the course of 42 games.

Minnesota hitters haven't done much better in the power department thus far, placing 12th in the AL with 23 home runs, although the club is fourth in batting average (.264) thanks to Joe Mauer who is first in the league with a .326 mark.

Minnesota, which won two of three from Colorado in the only other series between the clubs back in 2003, is a solid 107-86 all-time in interleague games, while the Rockies have produced a 76-88 overall mark versus the AL over the years.
