And Speaking Of Sweeps: Rockies 3, Diamondbacks 2 (11 Innings)
Two important things happened in this game: first, the Snakes' defense failed in the second, giving the Rockies an unearned run and the early lead. That was erased soon enough in the in the third, when Arizona scored one of their own to tie it. Second, both closers — Manny Corpas and Jose Valverde — crumbled at the wrong time, and in Arizona's case, it turned out that Bob Melvin couldn't pull the trigger on a pitching change fast enough when Valverde, in his second inning of work, gave up a bases-loaded walk in the 11th. Without looking, I'm not convinced he had no better options (Doug Slaten had been warming up), but maybe he's learned a lesson. The Snakes end up being on the short side of comparisons on both defense and pitching, if only as measured by depth, and that latter may have bitten them last night.
The Rocks are now a mind-blowing 19-1 in their last 20. If there ever is a time to get hot, this is it.
