Jimenez wins 11th, Rockies avoid sweep
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 08 - 06 - 2010

Ubaldo Jimenez became the first 11-game winner in the majors, though his scoreless innings streak ended after a franchise-record 33, and the Colorado Rockies held on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 Sunday.
Jimenez (11-1) blanked the Diamondbacks through seven innings, then gave up just his second home run of the season, a two-run shot by Conor Jackson in the eighth. It was Arizona's first score against the hard-throwing right-hander in 27 innings dating to last August.
Jimenez allowed six hits, struck out eight and walked three as his ERA rose to 0.93. His 11 wins are three more than any other pitcher has.
Arizona set a franchise record with its seventh consecutive one-run game. Colorado had lost three in a row, matching its longest skid this season.
Carlos Gonzalez hit a two-run single off Rodrigo Lopez (2-4), and Troy Tulowitzki homered for the Rockies. Manny Corpas pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save.
Dodgers 5, Braves 4, 11 innings: At Los Angeles, A.J. Ellis hit an RBI single in the 11th inning to give Los Angeles a victory over Atlanta and a split of their four-game series.
Pinch-hitter Russell Martin drew a leadoff walk from Jesse Chavez (0-0), advanced on Blake DeWitt's bunt and came home when Ellis stroked a 1-2 pitch to left for his seventh RBI of the season.
Ronald Belisario (1-0) pitched two innings of two-hit ball for the win. Rafael Furcal hit his first home run of the season and James Loney had a two-run single for the Dodgers.
Mets 7, Marlins 6: At New York, Jeff Francoeur hit a tying, three-run homer in the seventh inning as New York rallied to beat Florida, running its home winning streak to eight games.
Angel Pagan had a two-run single in a three-run sixth and scored the go-ahead run when Ike Davis grounded sharply into a double play in the eighth.
Pedro Feliciano (2-2) struck out Chris Coghlan with runners on first and second to end the eighth, and Francisco Rodriguez finished for his 12th save. Cody Ross struck out with a runner on second to end it.
Ross hit a three-run homer and Dan Uggla also went deep for Florida, which called up highly touted slugger Mike Stanton from the minors after the game. He will make his big league debut Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
Padres 6, Phillies 5, 10 innings: At Philadelphia, Adrian Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs and Chase Headley had four hits as San Diego beat Philadelphia on pinch-hitter Oscar Salazar's two-out infield single in the 10th inning.
Elsewhere in the NL it was: Reds 5, Nationals 4, 10 innings; Giants 6, Pirates 5, 10 innings; Astros 6, Cubs 3; Brewers 4, Cardinals 3, 10 innings.
