Colorado has not won a road series against the New York Mets in a little more than eight years. It likely will need to get the best of Johan Santana in order to do it again. The Rockies can earn that elusive series win in Queens with a second straight victory Thursday afternoon over the Mets, who could be without closer Francisco Rodriguez. Melvin Mora’s grand slam highlighted a five-run eighth inning in Colorado’s 6-2 win Wednesday night that evened its set with New York. The Rockies have won four times in 26 games in Queens since last winning a series there May 10-12, 2002. Despite the club’s futility in New York, the approach of the Colorado players remains the same no matter where they play.

Securing a winning series might not be easy against Santana, who is 4-1 with a 2.17 ERA over a span of eight starts. After allowing 11 runs and 22 hits in his previous two outings, Santana gave up five hits in 7 1-3 innings of a 1-0 win at Philadelphia on Saturday. The left-hander was excellent in his only appearance against the Rockies at Citi Field on July 30, 2009, giving up four hits and striking out eight in seven innings of a 7-0 win. Jason Hammel took the loss in that contest after giving up five runs and seven hits in 1 1-3 innings in his only appearance against the Mets. The right-hander hopes for a better effort Wednesday as he tries to build on his first win in a month. Hammel was 0-3 with a 5.33 ERA in four starts since beating San Diego on July 10, but allowed only a three-run homer in his sixth and final inning of a 6-3 win at Pittsburgh on Friday.
