Monday night’s game against the San Diego Padres is one game that Colorado Rockies sure want to forget about.  The Rockies were shut out by Matt Cain and the Giants by the score of 4-0 as the Rockies record dropped to 10-16 on the season.

Garrett Atkins and Yorvit Torrealba both had two hits, but the rest of the lineup was pretty much silent.  The Rockies had some chances as Cain walked five batters, but the Rockies stranded 19 runners so the walks didn’t come back to hurt Cain really.

Franklin Morales took the loss for the Rockies.  Morales tossed 4.1 innings and gave up six hits and four runs.  Morales had control problems as he walked five batters and only struckout one batter.  Kip Wells, Ryan Speier, and Josh Newman finished out the game on the mound and did not allow a run to score.

The Rockies are going to need to turn things around if they want to have any shot at making a return trip to the playoffs.  Right now, it doesn’t look like that is going to happen.  Do you think they will?

The Colorado Rockies lost 6-4 on Sunday against the Houston Astros.  Even though the Astros are struggling this season, they were able to hold the Rockies to four runs putting the Rockies at a split 9-9 for the year.

Garrett Atkins hit his 3rd home run of the year against Shawn Chacon in the 6th inning.  Brad Hawpe, Todd Helton, Garrett Atkins, and Troy Tulowitzki all drove in a RBI as well.

The Colorado Rockies will now welcome the Philadelphia Phillies to the Rocky Mountain state for a two game series starting Monday night.  Will they be able to come back from this loss and pick up the win?

The Colorado Rockies were no-hit for 6.2 innings and ended up getting blanked by the San Diego Padres by the score of 6-0.  You can’t win a ballgame with out two hits more then likely, and the Rockies just didn’t bring their bats to the game.

Todd Helton and Brad Hawpe were the only Rockies to record a hit in the game.  Talk about a terrible job at the plate lol.
