Rockies' Jamie Moyer Beats Diamondbacks with Arm and Bat

Wednesday, 16 May 2012 21:57 | Written by The Associated Press |

Colorado Rockies DENVER -- Jamie Moyer handcuffed the Arizona Diamondbacks at the plate and in the field.

The 49-year-old lefty pitched neatly into the seventh and drove in two runs with an infield single in Colorado's 6-1 win Wednesday night.

In the fourth inning, he dribbled a 2-2 fastball in between lefty Patrick Corbin and first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who fielded the ball and futilely lunged at the old-timer lumbering down the line.

That scored Jordan Pacheco from third, and he was quickly followed by Dexter Fowler, scoring all the way from second base on the 85-foot single and giving the Rockies a 5-0 lead.

"The guy has his back turned, he's not expecting that," Fowler said. "I always run hard, especially with two outs."

The two RBIs tied Moyer's career high set against Pittsburgh in June 2004 when he was with the Seattle Mariners.

Marco Scutaro's Late Heroics Carry Rockies Past Giants

Wednesday, 16 May 2012 01:19 | Written by The Associated Press |

SAN FRANCISCO -- Jim Tracy kicked his shoes off, popped out the front of his jersey and leaned back in his chair. After everything the Colorado Rockies have endured lately, forgive the manager if he needed a moment to soak in a victory.

It hasn't happened much.

Marco Scutaro homered off closer Santiago Casilla to lead off the ninth inning and lift the Rockies past the mistake-prone San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Tuesday night. Scutaro smacked a 92 mph fastball from Casilla (0-2) just over the left-field wall for his first home run of the season after Colorado blew a three-run lead in the eighth.

"It took some character, which I think this team has a lot of," Tracy said. "Now, we didn't necessarily have to do in the fashion that we did."

Just the typical Rockies way.

Christian Friedrich Pitches 6 Solid Innings, Wins Rockies Debut

Wednesday, 09 May 2012 19:05 | Written by The Associated Press |

SAN DIEGO -- The Colorado Rockies got exactly what they needed to end a five-game losing streak -- a win by a pitcher making his big league debut and an offensive outburst.

Left-hander Christian Friedrich pitched six solid innings to win his debut, and Jason Giambi and Wilin Rosario hit RBI doubles off the top of the fences at Petco Park as the Rockies rallied to beat the San Diego Padres 6-2 on Tuesday.

The Rockies denied the Padres their first series sweep of the season. It was just the second time in 12 road games that the Rockies scored more than four runs. The Rockies had 13 hits, including at least one by every regular.

Just as big, Friedrich helped stabilize a rotation that's struggled because of injuries and ineffectiveness. Friedrich (1-0) held San Diego to two runs, one earned, on six hits while striking out seven and walking one. He was Colorado's first-round pick in the 2008 amateur draft.
