Rockies shut out and blow out the Padres in their home opener

Starting Pitcher, Jorge De La Rosa set the tone for the team in the home opener in Coors Field. De La Rosa pitched 7 scoreless innings, allowing only 1 hit and 1 walk, and striking out 9 (including Scott Hairston 3 times and Adrian Gonzalez twice.. ouch)! It was a great win after losing the rubber match against the Brewers in a game where the Rockies led for the majority of the game. The Rockies' bats were hot.. Clint Barmes homered towards the end of the game, and Brad Hawpe and Troy Tulowitzki both had 2 doubles a piece. It was an exciting home opener and sets up a beautiful weekend in Denver, CO that the Rockies will hopefully take advantage of.. Go Rockies!
