The Rockies just cannot catch a break. They have lost six straight now and are in last place in the NL West. Ubaldo Jimenez had a good outing, going seven innings allowing just three runs. Sadly, the offense only put up two runs in the game. Clint Barmes remained the lone bright spot for the Rockies hitters. He went 3-4 in the game. He fell just a homer short of the cycle, after putting up a single, double and triple.
The Twins were helped out by Delmon Young’s three hits, including two doubles. Justin Morneau also had two hits. Nick Blackburn had one of his best games of the year. He allowed only two runs off six hits in seven innings. Joe Nathan worked the ninth for his 13th save.
Willy Tavares stole his 16th base of the year in the game, taking third.
