Rockies Win, Hope to Turn Around Slow Start
The Colorado Rockies beat the Detroit Tigers, 5-3, at Astrodome. The win was largely due to the efforts of left fielder Jim Edmonds, who captured player of the game honors. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Colorado reliever Johnny Grodzicki picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Julio Teheran absorbed the loss. The Rockies have stumbled out of the gate, getting only their 1st win in 3 games.

Edmonds had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-0 curveball from Julio Teheran, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Rockies a 4-3 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Edmonds.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Edmonds told the Colorado Bulletin.
