      <title>Wilin Rosario delivers walk-off 10th inning single as Colorado Rockies keep standings close</title>
      <description>Wilin Rosario was the hero on Tuesday night.From goat to hero in the matter of a night.That is the story of Wilin Rosario on Tuesday night. The catcher laced a single down the right field line, scoring Carlos Gonzalez from second base after the Diamondbacks had walked Troy Tulowitzki in order to pitch to Rosario. The 10th inning single scored Gonzalez to give the Rockies a victory and put them a Wednesday matinee victory away from being tied for first place.Rosario's clutch hit comes the night after being heavily criticized for his&#160;lackadaisical defense behind the plate. Jon Garland threw two wild pitches in critical moments on Monday night, however both pitches were very block-able, and ended up costing the Rockies.There is no one who suggests that Rosario is a great defensive catcher. The issues are clear and apparent. However, his bat makes him one of the best hitting catchers in the big leagues. He is good for 30-35 home runs and puts the ball in play enough not to be consid...</description>

      <title>Patrick Corbin shuts down Colorado Rockies in opener, Garland struggles again</title>
      <description>Jon Garland might be the odd man out if he doesn't figure it out soon.Jim Tracy would have loved his post game press conference on Monday night if he was still with the Colorado Rockies. It was the perfect opportunity for him to use a classic cliche line that he seemed to pull out far too often in his tenure with the Rockies.&quot;Sometimes you've gotta tip your cap to the other guy on the mound.&quot; Those would have been the words that Tracy would have used to describe the night that Arizona Diamondbacks lefty Patrick Corbin had on Monday night.While Tracy overused the saying, and it came across as an excuse, Monday night would have been an extremely appropriate time to use that line. Corbin was phenomenal. His slider would have had physicists questioning if the altitude actually effects breaking balls.Corbin, an early favorite for National League Cy Young, improved his record to a stellar 7-0 with an ERA sitting at 1.44. He struck out 10 Rockies and walked only one, a le...</description>

      <description>For generations baseball players have created hand shakes and gestures with teammates to celebrate on-field accomplishments. However the All-Star shortstop of the Colorado Rockies to it to a whole new level after a win over the world champion San Francisco Giants.
Troy Tulowitzki can be observed shaking hands below the belt with teammate Rafael Betancourt, as Tulo passes by he grabs the relievers junk. Not sure if that was a hold or a save opportunity but it brings hand shakes to a who nutty level.

      <description>Oh nothing, just Troy Tulowitzki grabbing teammate Rafael Betancourt in the nuts after the Colorado Rockies beat the San Francisco Giants 5-0 on Sunday. Tulo hit a two-run single in the sixth, while Betancourt pitched a scoreless ninth. Betancourt initially put up some resistance to Tulo, but the shortstop would not be denied. 
Between Tulo and Jeff Francoeuer, this is turning into the year of the nut shot.

      <title>First-place D-backs continue trip in Colorado</title>
      <description>After taking two of three from the Marlins over the weekend to grab sole possession of first place in the NL West, the Diamondbacks will try to win their third straight series as they visit the Rockies for a three-game set.

The Rockies have been one of baseball's surprises thus far, coming into the week at 23-20 and just two game back of the D-backs for the division lead. The teams have already played seven times this season, with the Rockies taking two of three when the teams met at Coors Field a month ago. Here's a look at where the teams stand entering the early-week matchup. 

Pitching matchups: Monday -- LHP Patrick Corbin (6-0, 1.52 ERA) vs. RHP Jon Garland (3-4, 4.89). Tuesday -- RHP Ian Kennedy (2-3, 4.88) vs. RHP Jhoulys Chacin (3-3, 4.07). Wednesday -- RHP Trevor Cahill (3-4, 2.48) vs. LHP Jorge De La Rosa (5-3, 3.58).

Who's hot for the D-backs: First baseman Paul Goldschmidt turned the early-season MVP talk up a notch with a 6-for-13 series against the Marlins over the weekend. He did</description>

      <title>MLB rumors: Roy Oswalt on pace for June call-up with Rockies</title>
      <description>Roy  Oswalt is getting himself Major League ready much like he did last season before joining the Texas Rangers. &#160;This year he is prepping to join the Colorado Rockies. &#160;And so far, he has looked sharp. &#160;He pitched an extended spring training game this weekend and looked good.

#Rockies RHP Roy  Oswalt sparkled in extended spring start vs. Brewers Sat. 5 IP, 1H, 9 K. Leadoff bunt in 1st only hit. (more coming)
&#8212; Thomas Harding (@harding_at_mlb) May 19, 2013



Harding says Oswalt is on pace for a June call-up if all holds true with the team's plans to bring him up after four or five minor league starts. &#160;Oswalt came up late in the year for the Rangers last season, but he was not able to do much to help them. &#160;In fact, he may have hurt the Rangers down the stretch. &#160;Colorado hopes to have better results with the former ace.

The Rockies are 24-20 this season. &#160;They have been surprising after some people (myself included) wrote them off as a last place team. &#160;As it stands...</description>

      <title>Rockies 5, Giants 0</title>
      <description>Juan Nicasio scattered three hits over six innings, Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki each drove in two runs and the Colorado Rockies won their first series over San Francisco in two years, beating the Giants 5-0 on Sunday.

Dexter Fowler tied a career high with four hits to help the Rockies take three of four from the reigning World Series champions. Jordan Pacheco also drove in a run as Colorado captured its first series against San Francisco since May 16-17, 2011, at Coors Field.

Nicasio (4-1) shut down one of the top-hitting teams in baseball, striking out five and allowing only an intentional walk before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth. It was only the third time in nine starts the righty has thrown at least six innings.

Barry Zito (3-3) couldn't get on track as he turned in a second straight ineffective outing. He allowed 11 hits and five runs in 5 2-3 innings.

Gregor Blanco and Brandon Crawford each had two hits. Pinch-hitter Joaquin Arias had the other as the Giants lost their th</description>

      <title>Reid Brignac acquired By Yankees from Colorado Rockies</title>
      <description>The New York Yankees acquired utility infielder Reid Brignac &#160;from the Colorado Rockies for cash. &#160;originally drafted by Tampa Bay in the second round of the 2004 draft. Brignac was traded to Colorado in February.&#160;Brignac hit .250 with one home run and six RBI &#160;with the Rockies.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman feels the team is upgrading with Brignac.&#160;Brignac, &#8220;is a very good fielder,&#8221; Cashman said, &#8220;and gives us a better platoon situation because all of the left side of the infield bats righthanded.&#8221;
Brignac &#160;is the 36th player used by the Yankees this season and 13th to play infield. &#160;The Yankees are still waiting for the return of&#160;Mark Teixeira, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.
New York designated shortstop Alberto Gonzalez for assignment to make room for Brignac on the 40-man roster.</description>

      <title>Rockies announcer jokingly calls Carlos Gonzalez home run</title>
      <description>Friday night the Root Sports Rockies broadcast answered a fan question about home runs being hit into the fountains at Coors Field during the 6th Inning. &#160;Rockies play by play man Drew Goodman jokingly says, &quot;Yea, Cargo's about to.&quot; &#160;On the next pitch, Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez hits a home run to straightaway center that falls just short and wide of the mark. &#160;You can hear Goodman try and work the ball into the fountains and his slight disappointment that Gonzalez couldn't get the job done.

	Gonzaelz did get the home run, but he couldn't hit the fountains... so we'll give this a 6.5 on the Psychic Announcer Scale.</description>

      <title>Colorado Rockies Place Jeff Francis On Disabled List, Other Notes</title>
      <description>The Colorado Rockies were very busy Thursday. They had to place left-handed starting pitcher Jeff Francis on the 15-day disabled list due to a strained left groin. To fill the void on the active roster, the Rockies recalled reliever Rob Scahill and second baseman DJ LeMahieu from their Triple-A minor league affiliate. To also make room on the active roster, Colorado decided to designate third baseman Reid Brignac for assignment.
For Brignac to remain with the organization, he will have to clear the waiver wire process and accept his assignment.
Francis shouldn&#8217;t be out too long, although a pulled groin is nothing to laugh at when it comes to pitching.
Look for Scahill to be an extra arm in the bullpen while LeMahieu will act as bench depth to the parent club.

      <title>Rockies put Francis on DL, add LeMahieu, Scahill</title>
      <description>The Colorado Rockies have put left-hander Jeff Francis on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left groin and designated infielder Reid Brignac for assignment.

The Rockies also recalled infielder D.J. LeMahieu and right-hander Rob Scahill from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday.

The 32-year-old Francis was hurt during Tuesday's win against the Cubs in Chicago. He is 2-3 with a 6.00 ERA in eight starts this season.

LeMahieu batted .364 with one home run and 22 RBIs in 33 games at Triple-A. He hit .297 with two homers and 22 RBIs in 81 games for the Rockies last year.

Scahill pitched once for the Rockies earlier this season.

Brignac was acquired from Tampa Bay in the offseason. He batted .250 in 29 games with Colorado.</description>

      <title>Colorado Rockies lose lackluster finale in Chicago, need swagger back</title>
      <description>The Rockies have a pivotal homestand starting on Thursday.One step forward, two steps back.That may be the best way to describe the Colorado Rockies month of May so far. With a chance to win a three-game set in Chicago and salvage a road trip that started off on such a bad note, the Rockies barely showed up on Wednesday night, losing 6-3 to a Cubs team that could lose 100 games for the second consecutive year.Throughout the past two weeks, the Rockies have had one aspect of their game play well and the other fail. If the pitching is great, the bats don't produce. Rarely has both happened at the same time. However, on Wednesday, neither the offense or the pitching did their part.Jon Garland, who has proven to be a valuable pickup late in spring training, struggled early. He gave up a leadoff home run to David DeJesus. Despite a few solid middle innings, the dagger was delivered when Garland gave up a two-run blast to opposing pitcher Jeff Samardzija in the 2nd inning, giving the ...</description>

      <title>Jeff Francis makes his case and Carlos Gonzalez has a career night as Colorado Rockies roll</title>
      <description>Carlos Gonzalez had a career night on Tuesday in Chicago.Listen to the national media and it is clear to them. Carlos Gonzalez is a Coors Field creation.Ask the Chicago Cubs the same question, and they would quickly disagree. CarGo had a career night on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field, helping the Colorado Rockies route the Cubs 9-4, giving the Rockies a chance to win the series on Wednesday night.Gonzalez put together his first five-hit night in his brilliant young career. Included in the five hits were two home runs and a double. Both home runs were classic CarGo homers, line drives that had fans in the seats scattering, rather than trying to catch the&#160;souvenir.CarGo wasn't the only Rockie who had a great night. The bats that had been largely missing since the team's three game series win in Los Angeles nearly two weeks ago. The Rockies have blown several opportunities. Specifically, the Rockies offense, which had Rockies fans believing that the team could be a contender in...</description>

      <title>If Colorado Rockies want to salvage the season, changes need to start now</title>
      <description>Juan Nicasio needs some Triple-A seasoning.It's time.The Colorado Rockies must start making moves to salvage a season that started with so much promise. It may seem early to declare a team in need of wholesale changes when they were expected to finish in the basement of the National League West. The problem is, they have the talent to compete, and they must not swing and miss at the opportunity.The Rockies got shelled by a terrible Chicago Cubs team on Monday night. Juan Nicasio started on the mound for the Rockies and continued to cause head-scratching among those following this team. With Drew Pomeranz and Tyler Chatwood pitching well in Triple-A, why is Nicasio still on the big league roster?Nicasio ended up going a season-high six innings in the loss, giving up five earned runs. It may not sound like the worst start in the history of baseball, and it certainly wasn't. However, a common theme is starting to show up over and over again for the Dominican right-hander. Nicas...</description>

      <title>Nolan Arenado shows he is the real deal for Colorado Rockies</title>
      <description>Nolan Arenado looks like the real deal.Welcome to the big leagues, Mr. Arenado.On Saturday night at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies top prospect put an exclamation point on his first week in the big leagues. After driving two balls to the warning track that resulted in loud outs earlier in the game off of Rays starter and reigning American League Cy Young David Price, Arenado made it happen when it counted.With two outs in the 7th inning and the bases loaded, Arenado blasted the price pitch to the deepest part of the park. The ball sailed into the seats, and sent Price to the showers. What was a tight game was suddenly a laugher. The newest member of the Rockies was showing exactly why the Rockies decided to call him up after just a month at the Triple-A level.Watch the new third baseman step to the plate and there is one thing that is distinctly different from the typical rookie. There is no deer-in-the-headlights look. There is not a sense that he is overwhelmed with the realiza...</description>
