Philadelphia Phillies vs Colorado Rockies Live Stream Free: Watch Online MLB at 4:10 PM ET From Coors Field in Denver

The Colorado Rockies haven't skipped a beat offensively since All-Star Troy Tulowitzki went on the disabled list but that could change, however, as they face a resurgent Cole Hamels of the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Rockies will try to stay hot at the plate and finish their 10-game stay at Coors Field with a .500 record Sunday when they take on Hamels and the Phillies.

Colorado (36-33) snapped their three-game skid on the homestand by scoring six first-inning runs and cruising to a 10-5 victory over the Phillies on Saturday, as reported by mlb.com.

The Rockies continue to hit at a torrid pace at Coors Field, ranking at or near the top of the major leagues with 214 runs, 49 home runs and a .286 batting average at home, said mlb.

Since losing a career-worst six consecutive starts, Hamels is 1-0 in two starts this month as he's allowed three runs and struck out 16 in 13 innings.

Hamels gave up two runs over six innings in a 3-2 loss at Minnesota on Tuesday.

"I felt like I was throwing all four pitches for strikes and being aggressive with them," Hamels said.

He's also pitched well against the Rockies, going 3-0 with a 1.95 ERA over his last five matchups with them -- all Phillies victories.

Scheduled Colorado starter Jhoulys Chacin (4-3, 4.52) had gone winless in seven straight starts before beating Washington on Tuesday, when he allowed two runs in five innings in an 8-3 victory.

"It was a long stretch without winning a game, but it finally came," the right-hander said. "Hopefully, this will start a winning streak."

Chacin has had success versus the Phillies, going 1-0 with a 1.37 ERA in

three career starts against them.

Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins are a combined 0 for 16 with six strikeouts lifetime when facing Chacin.

Teammates Ben Revere and Michael Young have been the hottest Phillies. Revere is 11 for 20 over his last four games and Young is hitting .410 on the road trip.

Philadelphia (33-36) is closing a 10-game road trip seeking its third win in four games.
