Ubaldo Jimenez has had a rough season to put it lightly. His record was 3-8 going into Monday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers. But with the way he pitched Monday, you would not think any of this was the case. Jimenez shut down the Brewers offense over seven innings and allowed just three hits in a 4-3 game.
Jimenez rung up seven Brewers batters and walked five, but managed to keep those runners from scoring. The offense put together four straight innings with one run in each to provide the necessary support to Jimenez.
The bullpen managed to barely hold on to the 4-0 lead that the offense had posted. The Brewers posted three runs in the bottom of the eight off the Rockies bullpen, two coming on a Prince Fielder homer with two outs.
Brian Fuentes came in and shut down the Brewers bats in the bottom of the ninth to seal the deal and give Jimenez a huge moral boosting victory.
Matt Holliday homered for the Rockies in the seventh, his 14th of the year.
Brewers started Seth McClung was knocked around in 4.2 innings, giving up five walks, three hits and two runs. He struggled to locate the ball all night and the Rockies took advantage.

My best team of MLB is The Colorado Rockies . This why I always fallow their games especially whenever I have some time. I’m always trying not o miss any of their game and hear about the team’s news. But The Colorado Rockies tickets get more pricy especially when there are some hot games. But, if we’re really good fans we should try not to be mean when we’re talking about a favourite teams. It’s not only the Rockies tickets that got pricy, but there are other major teams too, so the team needs our support and we should provide as much as we can.
