Jeff Francis the one pitcher that was thought to be the “ace” of the staff remains winless after falling to 0-4 on the season after losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.  The Diamondbacks got to Francis early in the game as they had six runs on the board after only two innings of action and went onto win 8-4.

Francis ended up pitching 4 2/3 innings and giving up thirteen hits and eight runs.  He now has a 6.27 era on the season, and that definately isn’t going to get the job done.  I know some Rockies fans are wondering what the hell is going wrong with Francis.

Jeff Baker led the Rockies with two rbi in the game.  Baker had a sac fly in the second inning and then a infield hit rbi in the fourth inning.  Garrett Atkins and Jonathan Herrera both had a rbi in the game as well.  Atkins hit a solo home run off of Randy Johnsn and Herrera had a rbi single in the fourth inning.

It will be interesting to see how the Rockies respond on Wednesday when they play the Diamondbacks once again.  Rockies Blog
