Rebound

A good effort on all sides last night recovering from the ugly outing Tuesday to shut out the Pirates 8-0 on the strength of Ubaldo Jimenez' 8 innings of shutout ball, Clint Barmes, breaking out of his slump with 3 hits, and the defense making the plays including Chris Iannetta's ability to get the throws to second.

Only negative, Todd Helton's 16 game hitting streak came to an end.

NOTES: Rockies sent Tuesday night's starter Chacin down to Colorado Springs and brought up Adam Eaton. It is expected that Chacin will get a few weeks work and then rejoin the Rockies in September. Eaton, gives the bullpen some insurance in case one of the starters doesn't go far in the next couple of games.

Rockies have 4 10 game

Day game today, before heading to Florida and Washington to finish up the East Coast schedule for the season. After that an important 10-day stretch directly against the Giants and Dodgers.
