*********************************************
PLAYER OF THE WEEK:It took 6 games on the road trip, but the Rockies finally had a Home Run in the 12th inning at San Diego. Ian Stewart went on to hit another one on Saturday. For the week Stewart batted .352 with 5 RBI.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Ubaldo Jimenez finally lost a game, but for one bad bounce, he could have left another game giving up 0 runs. Ubaldo pitched twice going 7 innings in each, giving up 2 runs (one in each game), and struck out 18 total in the two games. But you still have to mention the outing by Jhoulys Chacin who followed his first start with 7 1/3 innings, 6 hits and striking out 7.

STAT OF THE WEEK Ian Stewart not only has all 6 of his home runs hit on the Road this year, but all of his extra base hits have been on the road including 4 doubles and a triple.
