Ubaldo Jimenez is on the cusp of setting a franchise mark for wins in a season. Victories have been hard for his team to come by when it has visited the New York Mets. The Colorado Rockies ace looks to become the club’s first 18-game winner in the opener of a three-game set against the sputtering Mets on Tuesday night. Jimenez has tied Jeff Francis, Pedro Astacio and Kevin Ritz for the franchise record for wins. The right-hander has the most victories in the majors and is among the leaders in ERA. He put himself in position to gain sole possession of the record by winning his last two starts with a 1.29 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 14 innings. That’s a vast improvement from his six starts before that, when he posted a 7.64 ERA.

The Rockies could use another dominant effort from Jimenez as they try to overcome a daunting history in Queens. Colorado has gone 3-21 in its last 24 games on the Mets’ home field and dropped three of four in its only series at Citi Field from July 27-30. The Rockies have hit .214 during that 24-game span, getting shut out nine times. They will be facing a Mets team that is 33-19 at home. Jimenez, though, turned in quality starts in his two road outings against New York, going 0-1 with a 4.15 ERA. He could also benefit from a red-hot Rockies lineup. Colorado has batted .320 with 14 homers in winning seven of 10, a surge that continued with an 8-4 victory at Pittsburgh on Sunday. The Rockies collected 14 hits, half of them doubles. Carlos Gonzalez, 4 for 5 with a double, a homer and three RBIs on Sunday, has been a major force in the offensive outburst. The center fielder has hit .500 with eight homers and 15 RBIs over the last 11 games.
