Jaime Garcia had so much movement on his fastball, teammate Ryan Theriot said he could have beaten any team with just that pitch.

Where to begin. The Braves got their first three runs in the third inning. They had a chance in the first when Martin Prado reached on an infield single/E6 and Alex Gonzalez turned a long at-bat into a solid single to left, but Chipper struck out, McCann popped out on the first pitch, and Dan [...]

The big question tonight is which Ubaldo Jimenez is going to show up to face Matt Cain. Will it be rejuvenated Ubaldo, ready to shake off the poor start to the season, or will it be injured Ubaldo, scraping his way through 4-5 innings and hoping the bats show up strong? We're obviously hoping it's the former, because nothing puts wind into the Rockies' sails like a healthy Ubaldo Jimenez.

Rockies Lineup:

1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF
2. Jonathan Herrera (S) 2B
3. Carlos Gonzalez (L) LF
4. Troy Tulowitzki (R) SS
5. Todd Helton (L) 1B
6. Seth Smith (L) RF
7. Ian Stewart (L) 3B
8. Chris Iannetta (R) C
9. Ubaldo Jimenez (R) P
