Two Big Wins

The Rockies are back in first place in the NL West after winning a pair of come from behind games over the Giants.
I was at the game last night and was pleasantly surprised that the bats woke up in time to hand Tim Lincecum a 7-4 loss.
Today at Coors the Rockies ended the home stand on a positive note by beating San Fran again, 5-3 as Carlos Gonzalez came through with a 2-run single. He belted a 3-run homer last night to provide the winning margin.
If Gonzalez can get hot he and Tulowitzki, who is starting to heat up again, can carry this team. Add in the nice pitching today of Ubaldo Jimenez and things are looking up again for Colorado. Although he didn't get the win, Jimenez allowed 3 runs in 7 innings with 7 strikeouts. Not great for Ubaldo but a step in the right direction.
