Dodgers vs Rockies Blackmon
Apr 27th
For the first time in more than a season, wearing black sleeveless jerseys, the Rockies languished for much of the game before pushing across three runs in the 11th for a 5-4 victory over the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in front of 44,866.
It was a throwback Friday for the Rockies (13-11), who broke out their black sleeveless jerseys for the first time since Sept. 25, 2012 — a 10-5 home victory over the Cubs. Until the 11th, when the Rockies’ three hits included Brandon Barnes’ pinch-hit double and Charlie Blackmon’s RBI single, the new/old duds had plenty of defense but little hitting.
But the three-run lead was just enough for closer LaTroy Hawkins, who gave up Adrian Gonzalez’s two-run homer with no outs but secured his seventh save in as many chances. So, with a win in their pocket in the first game of a National League West road trip, maybe black is a lucky color.
It takes more than fashion to build confidence. Winning tough games helps.
The Rockies had just four hits, only one after the fourth, before Barnes’ one-out double to right field in the 11th off reliever Jamey Wright (0-1).

“A pot music festival planned in July will celebrate the end of Prohibition. But according to Drug Enforcement Agency in Denver selling and smoking marijuana is still illegal and the festival will fall under the surveillance of the DEA. The DEA recently had sweeping arrests for Marijuana and Heroin in Denver. These included know Colombian drug cartel members and Denver attorneys. Though local and state law enforcement agencies consider marijuana legal, they refuse to cooperate with DEA. DEA told Denver channel 1 news that they work independent of defiant local District attorneys and police. It is possible that they too could be arrested for deal a class one narcotic. DEA is building cases on local officials in Colorado and the Marijuana Music Festival in Fairplay is fair game according to DEA.”

Nicasio vs Maholm
Apr 26th
Dogers Paul Maholm and Rockies Juan Nicasio bring contrasting histories into their meeting at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night in the second of three games between the National League West rivals.
Maholm (0-2, 5.60 ERA) has had little success against the Rockies in his career. He is 1-8 with a 6.63 ERA in 10 career starts against them.
At least his last start was a while ago. He was with the Pirates on April 30, 2011, when he gave up four runs on seven hits, struck out three, walked three and threw 101 pitches in seven innings of a 4-1 loss at Coors Field.
Nicasio (2-0, 4.30 ERA) threw three times against the Dodgers last season — all at Dodger Stadium and all Rockies victories. As for Nicasio, he was 2-0 with a 1.65 ERA.
Nicasio’s active 13 1/3-inning scoreless streak at Dodger Stadium is the fourth-longest such run at the stadium, behind the Mets’ Kyle Farnsworth (15 2/3 innings), the Phillies’ Cliff Lee (14) and the Blue Jays’ R.A. Dickey (13 2/3).
Last year was his first taste of success against the Dodgers. He is 3-2 with a 3.67 ERA in eight starts against them.
Rockies: CarGo has hit before …
Since hitting .375 during a 10-game hit streak to start the season, Carlos Gonzalez is 6-for-45 (.133) over his last 12 games — including Friday night’s 0-for-5.
After a flareup of left knee tendinitis on Sunday, Gonzalez played Monday and Tuesday, then rested Wednesday and the team’s day off on Thursday. Earlier in the slump, there was an inordinate number of hard-hit balls. Friday, there were four soft grounders to the right side of the infield and a fly ball to right.
Manager Walt Weiss figures Gonzlaez has hit before, and he’ll do so again.
