The Colorado Rockies have put together a series of impressive performances at the plate over the last few games. Just as important to their recent success has been their ability to nearly shut down Albert Pujols.

On Monday, the Rockies look to complete their first four-game road sweep of Pujols and the Cardinals in franchise history.

After scoring nine runs during a four-game losing streak, Colorado (24-32) has responded by outscoring opponents 38-10 during four straight victories, a season high.

The Rockies beat the Cardinals (31-26) 7-2 on Sunday as catcher Paul Phillips went 4 for 5 with a homer and three RBIs while Clint Barmes had three hits, including a two-run double in the eighth.

Phillips has played in seven games since being called up from the minors on May 24 after Chris Iannetta suffered a hamstring injury and Yorvit Torrealba left the team to deal with personal matters. Iannetta is due back Tuesday, according to the Rockies’ official Web site. Phillips had two career-high, three-hit games before Sunday.
The Series:

Jun 5, 2009 - Final Colorado 11, St. Louis 4
Jun 6, 2009 - Final Colorado 10, St. Louis 1
Jun 7, 2009 - Final Colorado 7, St. Louis 2

Rockies beat Cardinals 7-2 behind Jimenez
ST. LOUIS (AP)—After the first three hitters, Ubaldo Jimenez trailed by two runs. Things got a lot tougher for the St. Louis Cardinals after that.

Jimenez finished with eight innings of four-hit ball and the Colorado Rockies got unexpected offense from Paul Phillips, who drove in three runs in a 7-2 victory on Sunday.

“When you trail, your starting pitcher has to step up and subdue the opposition and give us a chance to get back in the game,” manager Jim Tracy said. “Once he got the lead, you saw a face of a guy that said, ‘That’s it.”’

Phillips had a career-best four hits, including his first homer since 2006. Troy Tulowitzki, who missed four games with a bruised left hand, had two hits and an RBI.

The Rockies have scored 38 runs in their first four-game winning streak of the year and are 6-4 under Tracy after going 18-28 under Clint Hurdle. They’ve beaten the Cardinals five straight times, evening the all-time series at 73-73.

Albert Pujols had a rare two-run sacrifice fly in the first inning for the Cardinals, who have totaled three runs and nine hits in the last two games. Joel Pineiro (5-6) allowed three runs and 10 hits, all singles, in five innings after skipping a start due to back spasms.

Probably the only game this year I won't have access to watch (no local TV and mlb.tv blackout), so I'm certain it'll be a winner for us. Probably something historic will happen as well.

About time for the team to be saved from itself by another rain-out, IMO.

With our luck, they'll score 5 runs in the first two innings, and then it'll rain out.
