Update 4, 2014 Season
Series Against: vs New York Mets, vs Texas Rangers, at Cincinnati Reds

May 1, 2014
Team R - H - E
New York Mets 4 - 9 - 0
Colorado Rockies 8 - 14 - 0
W: J. Nicasio (1-1); L: R. Montero (0-4)
Corey Dickerson 3-5 3 RBI (15)

Juan Nicasio overcame a shaky start to settle down and produce 7 solid innings. Offensively, the Rockies were led by Michael Cuddyer and Corey Dickerson who each chipped in 3 RBIs a piece.

May 2, 2014
Team R - H - E
New York Mets 3 - 12 - 1
Colorado Rockies 6 - 10 -
W: J. De La Rosa (3-2); L: D. Gee (0-3); S: M. Belisle (8)
Jorge De La Rosa 5.1 IP 7 H 1 ER 2 BB 5 K

Jorge De La Rosa continues his strong start to the 2014 season, totaling his 3rd win of the campaign and lowering his ERA to 1.85 through 43.2 innings pitched. 6 different Rockies drove in runs on the day, with D.J. LeMahieu, Troy Tulowitzki, and Corey Dickerson all hitting solo home runs.

May 3, 2014
Team R - H - E
New York Mets 14 - 16 - 0
Colorado Rockies 7 - 10 - 2
W: J. Valverde(1-0); L: B. Anderson (2-2)
Cesar Puello 4-4 2 HR (3) 2 RBI (4) 2 BB

A horror show on the mound, as the Rockies staff surrendered 10 runs through the first three innings. Brett Anderson, who had been surprisingly good up until this start, gave up 5 runs in only one third of an inning. The bright spot from this game was Troy Tulowitzki, who went 4-4 with a home run and 3 runs batted in.

May 4, 2014
Team R - H - E
New York Mets 4 - 12 - 2
Colorado Rockies 5 - 12 - 1
W: J. Lyles (2-2); L: O. Dotel (4-2)
D.J. LeMahieu 2-4 3 RS 1 BB 2 SB (5)

A walk-off sacrifice fly from Troy Tulowitzki gave the Rockies a close win and a series win against the New York Mets. Tyler Chatwood continues to allow multiple opponents on base each start, giving up 9 hits over 6.2 innings. On the year Chatwoods WHIP sits at an undesirable 1.67.

May 5, 2014
Team R - H - E
Texas Rangers 6 - 15 - 2
Colorado Rockies 2 - 6 - 2
W: R. Ross (4-1); L: J. Chacin (2-2)
Corey Dickerson 3-4 2 HR (5) 2 RBI (19)

Rough day at the office for Jhoulys Chacin who gave up 10 hits and 2 walks in his 7 innings of work. Overall an underwhelming game. The loan bright spot was Corey Dickerson who went yard twice on the day.

May 6, 2014
Team R - H - E
Texas Rangers 2 - 9 - 1
Colorado Rockies 3 - 7 - 0
W: J. Nicasio (2-1); L: M. Perez (2-3); S: M. Belisle (9)
Juan Nicasio 6 IP 7 H 2 ER 1 BB 6 K

Strong performance from Juan Nicasio and the pitching staff as a whole. After a lengthy rain delay the bullpen came in and shut the door on the Rangers over 3 solid innings.

May 7, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 2 - 6 - 1
Texas Rangers 1 - 7 - 2
W: J. De La Rosa (4-2); L: M. Harrison (0-6)
Matt Harrison 8 IP 6 H 1 ER 2 BB 4 K

A great pitchers duel between Jorge De La Rosa and Matt Harrison. Slightly better defense and more timely hitting was enough to give the Rockies the edge, with Nolan Arenado driving in the winning run in the 6th. De La Rosa's ERA on the season now stands at 1.78, good for fourth in the National League.

May 8, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 2 - 7 - 0
Texas Rangers 17 - 19 - 0
W: C. Lewis (3-2); L: J. Lyles (2-3)
Alex Rios 4-4 2B 2 HR (6) 7 RBI (24)

Another horror show on the mound, an event which is becoming a weekly occurrence. Jordan Lyles was poor in his first start off the DL and Franklin Morales was just as poor in relief. Overall, this is a game to forget.

May 9, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 3 - 7 - 0
Cincinnati Reds 4 - 8 - 0
W: H. Bailey (4-3); L: T. Chatwood (1-2); S: S. Marshall (7)
Homer Bailey 7 IP 7 H 3 ER 2 BB 10 K

Tyler Chatwood had a pretty strong performance by his standards. Zack Cozart hit a big 6th inning home run which gave the Reds the lead and they didn't look back.

May 10, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 4 - 11 - 2
Cincinnati Reds 5 - 8 - 0
W: S. Marshall (1-0); L: M. Belisle (0-3)
Troy Tulowitzki 3-4 2B 2 HR (10) 3 RBI (31)

Cincinnati comes up with the clutch hits for the second straight game as the Rockies drop their 3rd straight. Troy Tulowitzki hit two game tying home runs, but the Reds regained the lead on both occasions. On the season Tulo is hitting .354 with a .409 OBP and a .440 wOBA.

May 11, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 3 - 6 - 1
Cincinnati Reds 6 - 12 - 0
W: A. Simon (1-3); L: J. Nicasio (2-2); S: J. Hoover (3)
Joey Votto 3-4 HR (7) 3 RBI (22)

A definite series to forget. Yet another game where Cincinnati gets every clutch 2-out hit and our pitchers can't get the big out. Going forward, a move may need to be made in order to compete for a playoff spot.
