The contrast in ages on the mound will be apparent Wednesday night when the Atlanta Braves host the Colorado Rockies in the second contest of their three-game series.

Colorado will send 23-year-old rookie Bradley Blalock (1-1, 4.98 ERA) to the mound to face Atlanta veteran and fellow right-handerCharlie Morton (7-7, 4.26), a 40-year-old who will make his 378th career start.
