Rockies Win Pitchers Duel, Sweep Phillies to Move On To NLCS

by @ 5:08 am. Filed under 2007 Rockies

The Rockies are in the NLCS and they won the first playoff series in the franchises history as they finished up a three game sweep over the Phillies.  Once again, the Rockies pitching staff came through even playing the hitter friendly Coors field and a rookie starter and the pen held the Phillies to just a single run on three hits.

Ubaldo Jimenez picked up the win with 6 1/3 solid frames.  He gave up his share of walks (four) but he gave up just the one run on three hits and he struck out five.  Matt Herges got the Rockies through the seventh and then Brian Fuentes and Manny Corpus did their jobs in the eighth and ninth.

Kaz Matsui put the Rockies on the board in the fifth inning with an RBI triple.  Jimenez then gave up a trying run when Shane Victorino took him deep for a solo homer but the Rockies got it done in the eighth inning.  With two outs, Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe singled to keep the inning alive and then Jeff Baker belted a pinch hit RBI single to give the Rockies the run they needed to walk away with the win and the series.

With the sweep, the Rockies now have until Thursday to play their next game.  The Diamondbacks also swepth so the Rockies opponent is decided.  That’s just an awfully long time to plan.
