Diamondbacks top the Rockies on Jackie Robison Day, 5-2

Jackie Robinson Day is a great day for baseball. Every player wears the number 42 in honor of the great pioneer of this game. The day felt better since the D-backs won, but it was only so they could salvage a win against the Rockies. Trevor Cahill got his first win as a Diamondback while wearing 42 and Chris Young homered again while wearing 42. The Diamondbacks return to Chase Field tomorrow to start a series against the Pirates.

Rockies walk-off on Arizona thanks to Helton's 2-R Homer

This game was unbelievable and disgusting. Unbelievable because the D-backs reliable reliever, JJ Putz, blew a save and a one-run cushion in the middle of a rainstorm with two outs. Disgusting because my dad called the walk-off shot. Old reliable for the Rockies delivered on a miracle two-run shot that fought the wind to sneak in for a homer. This is the second night in a row that a D-back reliever lost the game, which is odd and concerning given that the Snakes were supposed to have a solid Bull-pen. I guess both my old man and the Rockies' old man have some game left in them.
