post from MLB News Blog on 01 May 2011 09:19:19 PM. © MLB News Blog

The Dodgers managed only three hits off San Diego’s Dustin Moseley during his seven innings of work. Fortunately for Andre Ethier, he had one of them to keep his hitting streak going at 27 games. Moseley got his first victory of 2011, and the Padres beat Los Angeles 7-0 on Sunday to win their first [...]

Jimenezs ERA soars to 7.20 as Bucs win (AP)

post from MLB News Blog on 01 May 2011 08:26:23 PM. © MLB News Blog

Ubaldo Jimenez has been a mystery this season to the Colorado Rockies. He won 19 games a year ago and was the starter for the National League in the All-Star game. Jimenez has struggled to regain that form, losing again as the Rockies fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. “Your guess is as good [...]

Ramirez hits first homer in Marlins win (AP)

post from MLB News Blog on 01 May 2011 08:24:22 PM. © MLB News Blog

It’s going to take more than one swing for Hanley Ramirez to feel as though his slump is over. Ramirez hit his first home run of the season and the Florida Marlins went deep a season-high five times Sunday in a 9-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. John Buck homered to snap a seventh-inning tie. [...]

Jimenez, Rockies Lose 8-4 to Pirates

post from Purple Row on 01 May 2011 08:01:41 PM. © Purple Row

Today was not Ubaldo Jimenez's finest hour.

We're still waiting for Ubaldo Jimenez to get his first win of 2011. Jimenez went only four innings today (and 88 pitches), giving up six hits and four runs, walking four and striking out six with a club record-tying three wild pitches to get the loss (0-2). After four starts, Jimenez's ERA sits at 7.20.

Esmil Rogers entered the game in the fifth with the Rockies down 4-2, ostensibly to provide long relief. Instead, he tossed gasoline on the game and lit a match, giving up four more runs on four hits and two walks in the inning to give the Pirates a 8-2 lead. Charlie Morton took the win for Pittsburgh (3-1).

Offensively, Dexter Fowler and Todd Helton had multi-hit efforts, with both gentlemen driving in runs. Fowler's two run double in the sixth cut it to 8-4 and briefly give us hope. Even with the loss, the Rockies are 17-9, four games clear of anyone else in the NL West, and they won the season series against the Pirates, 4-3.
