Pitchers worth a thousand wows.
The Rockies’ Aaron Cook (5-1, 2.40 ERA) and the Padres’ Jake Peavy (4-1, 2.22) will face each other tonight in the premier pitching matchup of the season so far. That game airs on FSN starting at 8 p.m. On Sunday, the Rox and Padres will be part of Major League Baseball’s now-annual effort to raise awareness for breast cancer. Hundreds of hitters will swing pink bats that will later be auctioned off to help the Susan G. Komen Foundation. See the color anomaly when San Diego’s Chris Young (2-3, 4.31) tosses the first pitch against Colorado’s recent minor- league call-up, Greg Reynolds, just after 2 p.m., airing on KTVD-20.
