Rockies 6, Nationals 2
Winning Player: Ubaldo Jimenez
The machine just keeps pumping out quality starts and victories for the good guys.
The Nationals did have a handful of good swings on Ubaldo. Ryan Zimmerman was 3-for-3 with an RBI double. Adam Dunn become the first player to homer off Jimenez in 2010 -- and the 29th man to reach the upper deck at Coors Field (highlight). But Ubaldo did what an ace should do -- he shutdown all the guys surrounding their big boppers.
His league best ERA now stands at 1.12.
Losing pitcher LIvan Hernandez saw his league second best ERA fall to 1.46. He's 4-2 and in line for Comeback Player of the Year honors if this continues.

The Coors Field Cesspool
And the umps just stood and watched as the game continued for several innings in a complete cesspool of mud and slop. Both teams have to be a little angry the game continued, but even more thankful they didn't lose a player to injury in those conditions.
A Waterlogged and Muddy Recrap
This was not as ugly as the score indicates, but was every bit as ugly as this picture of the field indicates.
The Rockies played fairly well tonight for seven innings, The Nationals just played a little better.
So many losses have been frustratiing because it felt like the Rockies gave it away. This wasn't one of those. The Nationals just came in and took it. Everytime the Rockies battled back, which was often, the Nationals distanced themselves some more. A sign of a solid baseball team.
