It's Manny Parra against Aaron Cook at 2:10.

Follow the jump for today's pitching matchup, lineup and conversation on today's game!

Aaron Cook (10-6, 4.32) isn't quite as good as he was last year, when he was an NL All Star, but pitched five shutout innings last time out, after missing over a month. He beat the Brewers on June 11, allowing one run on seven hits with seven strikeouts in six innings.

Manny Parra (11-10, 6.16) is 3-0 in his last four starts, and has posted a 1.88 ERA in three September starts. He's facing the Rockies for the first time this season and trying to finish a pretty rough season with a nice run of quality appearances.

Adam McCalvy has today's lineup, which is just like yesterday's:

Felipe Lopez  2B
Jody Gerut  RF
Ryan Braun  LF
Prince Fielder  1B
Casey McGehee  3B
Mike Cameron  CF
Alcides Escobar  SS
Jason Kendall  C
Manny Parra  LHP

And in the bullpen:

Chris Smith pitched one inning (22 pitches) last night.
John Axford pitched one inning (14 pitches) last night.
Carlos Villanueva pitched two innings (28 pitches) Tuesday.
Claudio Vargas pitched two innings (34 pitches) Tuesday.
