Jorge De la Rosa pitched well enough to keep the Diamondbacks at bay, but he was not efficient enough to complete six innings. Manager Walt Weiss used a lesson from Tuesday night (when he left Chacin in two batters too long with Outman warmed up and ready) and pulled DLR in favor of "Edge" Escalona in time to slam the door on a potential rally. The score was 4-1 in ... [MORE]

The Dbacks made Jon Garland look like a Little League pitcher and Pat Corbin made the Rockies hitters look like Little Leaguers. The final score was a 5-0 job on the Rockies by the Dbacks. The highlight of the game was FGH taking the television viewers on a tour of the new press box and cafeteria. Garland had a line of 11 hits, five runs, a walk, and two wild pitches. ... [MORE]

For the second straight game, the Rockies played a clean game to take the game (5-0 score) and series (3 of 4). The only errors of the game were Dex Fowler's attempt to steal 3rd base with no outs and 3-0 count on CarGo, Josh Rutledge's error in the 6th inning, and Jon Herrera's throw that sailed into the seats on a grounder in the 8th inning. The series win ... [MORE]

The San Francisco Giants have been making a lot of errors lately.  It cost them Saturday night in the 3rd inning as the Colorado Rockies beat the Giants a second consecutive night 10-2.  San Francisco had taken a one run lead in the 2nd when Brandon Belt doubled with 2 out and scored on a Gregor Blanco single off Tyler Chatwood (2-0, 2.55).  Charlie Blackmon led-off the 3rd for Colorado ...

It was a seesaw game that looked similar to Thursday night's fugly loss. This time the Rockies came out on top of the Giants 10-9. The Gnats jumped out to a quick four-run lead mid second inning. Then the Rox took advantage of four errors in one inning to knot the score at 4-4 after three innings. As usual the Giants immediately reclaimed the lead 5-4 after four innings. After ... [MORE]

Don't have a lot of time here folks, but the game can be summed up by looking at innings 4 and 6 in the box score. The Rockies came out pounding Matt Cain with HRs by Helton, Arenado, and Rosario.  Unfortunately after that everyone thought they were a power hitter and swung for the fences (again). The Giants had 2 innings that sucked the momentum out of the Rockies offense. Chacin went 5 ... [MORE]

Jeff Samardzija (2-5, 3.45) won for the first time since April 1 as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-3 Wednesday night at Wrigley Field in the Windy City.  Samardzija struck-out 7 Rockies in 8 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks.  The right-hander also delivered a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 2nd that held-up until Colorado scored off Kevin Gregg in a 9th inning ...

Carlos Villanueva (1-3, 3.93) had his handlebars twirled to perfection, up-turned expertly to frame his regal nose.  The Colorado Rockies didn't care, knocking Villanueva around for 7 runs on 12 hits in 5 innings to go on and defeat the Chicago Cubs Tuesday night at Wrigley Field 9-4.  Jeff Francis (2-3, 6.00) was meanwhile channeling Mark Twain:  "The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated." The left-hander limited Chicago to ... [MORE]

With his Colorado Rockies teammates pursuing a 50 AB hitless streak, Jhoulys Chacin (3-2, 2.70) decided if there was going to be any entertainment at all, it was up to him.  The right hander proceeded to walk the bases full of St Louis Cardinals in the 2nd, 4th, and finally 5th innings, when the Cards broke through with 2, and went-on to beat Colorado 3-0 Saturday afternoon at Busch Stadium in ...
