Whether it's signing a player still in arbitration to a long-term contract or a prospect tearing it up in the minor leagues, every team has shown encouraging signs towards the future already.

That it took 10 innings for the Rockies to beat the D-backs on Tuesday night was surprising given the way Colorado starter Jhoulys Chacin was pitching.

Juan Nicasio tossed six scoreless innings as the Colorado Rockies blanked the San Francisco Giants, 5-0, in the finale of a four-game set from Coors Field.

Colorado's Jhoulys Chacin tries to put the brakes on a personal three-game losing streak on Tuesday when the Colorado Rockies continue a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field.

After a lengthy slump, center fielder Dexter Fowler went 10-for-20 as the Rockies won three of four games against the Giants.

Before the game, veteran catcher Yorvit Torrealba told the young pitcher to "pound the strike zone." No cute or fancy stuff, just throw whatever Torrealba told him to throw.

The Rockies no longer seemed to be waiting for Godot, Guffman and Bob Gibson on Saturday night.

Carlos Gonzalez homered twice and finished with a career-high five hits to lead the struggling Colorado Rockies to a 9-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night.

"If the Rockies can win seven or eight of their next 12, or just break even, they'll still be alive," says Patrick Saunders.

Let's hope that during or after Monday night's 9-1 drubbing at the hands of the Chicago Cubs , the Colorado Rockies got all the kinks out.

Nicasio allowed five runs in the first two innings and was outpitched by Travis Wood as the Chicago Cubs cruised to a 9-1 victory on Monday night.
