In a low scoring game on Wednesday afternoon, the Colorado Rockies used five pitchers to shut out the San Diego Padres 1-0. The five pitchers limited the Padres offense to only five hits while striking out six batters. Great job by the pithing staff!
Livan Hernandez tossed the first five innings of the game and picked up the win to improve to 2-3 on the year. He allowed three of the Padres five hits but did a good job by not allowing a run to score. Glendon Rusch, Ryan Speier, Manny Corpus, and Brian Fuentes all threw out of th bullpen for the rockies.
Joe Koshansky hit his third home run of the season when he went deep in the fourth inning off of Josh Geer. That was the only run for the Rockies even though they had eight hits in the game. As a team they struck out 10 times and left 13 runners on base. Not much production at all, and to be honest the rox were lucky to win on Wednesdsay.
Rockies will now be off on Thursday and then take on the Arizona Diamondbacks this weekend.
