| Washington, DC (Best E Casino) - Troy Tulowitzki went 3-for-5, scored twice and drove in three runs, as the Colorado Rockies crushed the lowly Washington Nationals, 13-6, in the middle contest of a three-game set. Each Colorado starter except for Matt Holliday recorded an RBI, but the left fielder did score three times. Despite the high-scoring affair, Tulowitzki and Ian Stewart had the only two extra-base hits for the Rockies, who have won three of their last four. Livan Hernandez (11-9) snagged the win in s |

| (Best E Casino) - Livan Hernandez's debut with the Colorado Rockies turned out to be an absolute disaster. A matchup against the lowest scoring team in the majors should make for a more favorable start for the veteran pitcher. Hernandez and the Rockies can hand offensively-challenged Washington a ninth straight loss when the clubs continue a three-game series this evening at Nationals Park. Colorado claimed Hernandez off waivers from the Minnesota Twins earlier this month and started him this past Sunday agai |

| (Best E Casino) - The Washington Nationals will try to halt their seven-game losing streak this evening, when they begin a three-game series against the visiting Colorado Rockies at Nationals Park. Washington's offense has flatlined over its skid, as the team has been shutout in three of the seven losses and totaled just 11 runs. The Nationals were outscored 25-6 in losing all three games of their recent series with the New York Mets. In Thursday's finale, Pete Orr hit a pinch-hit two-run triple -- his first |

Haren (13-6) scattered seven hits and two runs while fanning nine and walking two for Arizona. Dunn, acquired from Cincinnati on Monday, had a two-run single in a five-run fifth inning for Arizona, which has won three of four after dropping four straight.

| Diego, CA (Best E Casino) - The San Diego Padres placed pitcher Chris Young on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 11, with a strained right forearm on Thursday. The righty suffered the injury on Sunday in the Padres' 16-7 win over the Colorado Rockies. In that game, he allowed seven runs and nine hits over four innings and did not factor in the decision. This is Young's second stint on the DL this season. On May 21 he suffered a nasal fracture and laceration to his nose after being struck in the |

| (Best E Casino) - The Arizona Diamondbacks try to maintain at least a share of the top spot in the National League West this afternoon when they conclude a three-game series with the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Arizona relinquished sole possession of first place in the division last night, as Brad Hawpe clubbed a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning and Colorado withstood a ninth-inning charge from the Diamondbacks to hang on for a 6-5 win.

| (Best E Casino) - The Arizona Diamondbacks aim to keep up their season-long dominance of the Colorado Rockies when the National League West rivals resume a three-game series tonight at Coors Field. Arizona claimed Tuesday's opener by a 4-2 count and has now won nine of the 10 encounters between the clubs this season. That success has provided a small measure of revenge for the Diamondbacks, who were swept in four games by the Rockies in last October's NL Championship Series. Randy Johnson (10-8) sparked Tuesd |

| (Best E Casino) - The Arizona Diamondbacks have added some much-needed thunder to their lineup for tonight's opener of a three-game series with the Colorado Rockies from Coors Field. In an effort to boost its sputtering offense, Arizona acquired slugger Adam Dunn from the Cincinnati Reds on Monday's off day in exchange for minor league pitcher Dallas Buck and two players to be named later. The outfielder is expected to bat cleanup and play right field for his new club in tonight's tilt. Dunn is tied for the m |
