Rockies Finish Week 1, Thank God

The Rockies leave San Diego after going 1-2 in the series and dropping to 3-3 overall for the year. Both losses to the Padres came in the ninth inning or later after the Rox did have their chances. The reason the Rockies dropped their last two games was definitely the lack of offense, scoring only 3 combined in their last 2 outings. The bright spot of the series believe it or not was the starting pitching. The Rox got 3 quality starts from Jason Hirsh, Josh Fogg and Aaron Cook. Hirsh earned the victory in game one of the series pitching a solid 7 innings and striking out 8 before giving way to the bullpen. After week one, the starting pitching looks solid, the bullpen has been ok, and the bats need to wake up. Now the Rockies go on to LA for a set of 3 against the Dodgers.
