The Colorado Rockies may have saved the jobs of A. J. Hinch and his staff after losing the last series with to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

By winning the three-game series 2-1, the Diamonbacks snapped a 10-game losing streak (a major league record).

Ten-game losing streaks get managers fired and you can bet the futures of Diamondback manager A. J. Hinch and his staff were shaky at best.

Then the Colorado Rockies came to town with their reputation of “playing down to the level of their competition” and sure enough Hinch and his staff pulled off a series win saving their hides - for now.

The Rockies managed to eke out a one-run win in the final game of the series but only because they used the pitcher with the best stats in the majors this year.

Ubaldo Jimenez got his 11th win of the season despite ending his scoreless innings streak at 33. Jimenez earned run average is a a measly .93 - best in the majors.
