Update 5, 2014 Season
Series Against: at Kansas City Royals, vs San Diego Padres, vs San Francisco Giants, at Atlanta Braves

May 13, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 0 - 7 - 0
Kansas City Royals 6 - 12 - 0
W: B. Chen (4-2); L: J. De La Rosa (4-3)
Bruce Chen 8 IP 6 H 0 ER 2 BB 7 K

Another day and another road loss. This marks a five game losing streak now, all games having been played on the road. Hopefully they can break out of this slump in the next few games, otherwise I will need to start making some moves.

May 14, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 4 - 9 - 2
Kansas City Royals 3 - 9 - 0
W: J. Lyles (3-3); L: J. Shields (3-4); S: M. Belisle (11)
Jordan Lyles 8 IP 9 H 3 ER 1 BB 4 K

The streak finally ends on the back of a strong performance from Jordan Lyles. Matt Belisle remains automatic out of the bullpen as he notches yet another scoreless inning in relief, his ERA stands at 1.21 on the year.

May 16, 2014
Team R - H - E
San Diego Padres 6 - 11 - 0
Colorado Rockies 10 - 17 - 0
W: J. Jurrjens (1-0); L: I. Kennedy (2-4); S: W. Lopez (1)
Jair Jurrjens 3 IP 2 H 0 ER 0 BB 4 K

The bats came alive late for the Rockies, who scored all 10 of their runs in the last 3 innings of the game, led by a 7 run 6th. Jair Jurrjens was tremendous in relief as he shut the door on the Padres for 3 strong innings. Offensively, Carlos Gonzalez and Charlie Blackmon each went yard and drove in 3 and 2 runs, respectively.

May 17, 2014
Team R - H - E
San Diego Padres 4 - 9 - 0
Colorado Rockies 3 - 8 - 0
W: D. Thayer (2-0); L: B. Logan (0-1); S: A. Torres (10)
Alex Torres 3 IP 3 H 0 ER 2 BB 3 K

A tough loss to swallow. Tyler Chatwood's night was cut short by a lengthy rain delay, and the bullpen did a solid job in relief until Boone Logan blew the game in the 7th. Then to make matters worse, the Rockies were unable to get a hit after they had men on 2nd and 3rd with no one out in the 9th; the last three hitters struck out in order.

May 18, 2014
Team R - H - E
Son Diego Padres 2 - 6 - 0
Colorado Rockies 3 - 10 - 0
W: B. Logan (1-1); L: A. Torres (3-2)
Juan Nicasio 7 IP 5 H 2 ER 1 BB 10 K

Juan Nicasio
has his strongest start of the year en rout to a 3-2 win over the Padres. D.J. LeMahieu came through with the late heroics with a walk-off home run, his 3rd home run of the season, in the 9th.

May 20, 2014
Team R - H - E
San Francisco Giants 4 - 9 - 0
Colorado Rockies 7 - 11 - 1
W: R. Brothers (1-0); L: M. Bumgarner (5-3); S: M. Belisle (12)
Troy Tulowitzki 2-4 HR (11) 2 RBI (37)

Troy Tulowitzki and Corey Dickerson both go yard in a 3-run 8th which propels Colorado over the Giants. The 2 8th innings home runs were only half of the 4 total that the Rockies had in the game.

May 21, 2014
Team R - H - E
San Francisco Giants 0 - 3 - 0
Colorado Rockies 2 - 8 - 0
W: J. Chacin (3-2); L: C. Gaudin (0-3); S: M. Belisle (13)
Jhoulys Chacin 8 IP 2 H 0 ER 4 BB 6 K

A brilliant gem from Jhoulys Chacin was not wasted thanks to a late 2-run home run from catcher Wilin Rosario. The win gives the Rockies their third straight and fifth in six games following their five game losing streak.

May 22, 2014
Team R - H - E
San Francisco Giants 8 - 14 - 0
Colorado Rockies 5 - 10 - 0
W: J. Affeldt (4-0); L: R. Brothers (1-1); S: S. Romo (13)
Marco Scutaro 5-5 3 2B 2 RBI (8)

A day-off for Matt Belisle turned out to be costly as Rex Brothers was poor in his spot. Brothers gave up 4 runs in the 9th inning, which was enough to aid the Giants to victory and help them avoid the sweep.

May 23, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 1 - 2 - 2
Atlanta Braves 2 - 11 - 0
W: A. Varvaro (3-1); L: A. Ottavino (3-2)
Alex Wood 7 IP 1 H 1 ER 1 BB 8 K

A less than stellar offensive performance for the Rockies today as they were only able to muster 2 hits in 14 innings of play. On the season the Rockies now drop to 0-6 in extra inning games.

May 24, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 7 - 14 - 0
Atlanta Braves 4 - 10 - 0
W: J. Nicasio (3-2); L: J. Teheran (2-5); S: M. Belisle (14)
Wilin Rosario 3-5 HR (7) 3 RBI (25)

A solid all around job for the Rockies today as they recover from a poor first game loss to the Braves. Wilin Rosario and Nolan Arenado lead the offense with 3 and 2 runs batted in respectively.

May 25, 2014
Team R - H - E
Colorado Rockies 3 - 7 - 0

W: J. Chacin (4-2); L: E. Santana (2-8); S: R. Brothers (1)
Jhoulys Chacin 6 IP 2 H 0 ER 3 BB 6 K

A terrific job by the pitching trio of Jhoulys Chacin, and Adam Ottavino and Rex Brothers. Brothers redeems himself after blowing a game against the Giants in his last save attempt. Troy Tulowitzki continues to lead the offense, hitting his 12th home run and driving in runs 42 and 43 on the day.
