I Love Rocky Road
The Rockies set a franchise record with their 84th win as they defeat the Padres 7-3. Jeff Francis gets the win, his 17th, tying a franchise record. They've won 8 in a row, and in sweeping the Padres are just 1 1/2 games out of the wild card lead. In addition, they win the season series 10-8 against San Diego, giving Colorado the tie-breaker if the two teams end up tied for the division and the wild card.
Colorado has now outscored their opponents by 82 runs this year, the best in the NL. I don't know if they'll make the playoffs, but they sure deserve a spot.
Did Weird Al do any other baseball tunes?
