As a youngster, Ubaldo Jimenez's idol was three-time Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez.

This falls under the category of you never know when you may see something unusual at a baseball game.

Far from the All-Star Game spotlight and miles removed from the Rockies ' crucial homestand, Manuel Corpas will be toiling in the minor leagues.

Jason Marquis pitched eight innings for his major league-leading 11th win and Todd Helton's RBI double in the first provided the only run the Colorado Rockies needed in a 1-0 victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night.

Jorge De La Rosa blanked the Diamondbacks through eight innings, and Joel Peralta and Huston Street finished off Colorado's 5-0 shutout of its NL West rival.

Call this ugly game the one that almost got away. After cruising to an 11-2 lead through six innings Saturday night, the Rockies watched their seldom-used relievers - namely Alan Embree and Juan Rincon - collapse.

No one with a bat could slow Rockies pitcher Jason Marquis on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.

The A's furious comeback late in Saturday night's game is the kind of gutsy effort that manager Bob Geren typically raves about in his postgame comments.

It's time to correct a mistake made in last week's column. While discussing B.J. Upton 's chances of making the 40/40 club, I mentioned that he could become the third member of the group along with Jose Canseco and Alex Rodriguez .
