Aaron Cook has been dominant this year, but Tuesday night was a whole new level. He threw just 79 pitches in a complete game shutout of the Padres. He allowed just five hits in a game that lasted just an hour and 58 minutes, the shortest in Coors Field history. The Rockies won the game 4-0.
Cook improved to 11-5 on the year with the win. He struck out four in the game.
Jared Banks had a mediocre outing to say it lightly. He hit a rough patch in the bottom of the fifth and allowed four runs in the frame, all that he would allow in the game. He gave up six hits, four runs and struck out four with three walks.
Matt Holliday was the only player in the game with two hits. Willy Tavares, Brad Hawpe, and Garrett Atkins each drove in one run.
