Number Twos
I'm not sure how many people expected Kip Wells and Kyle Lohse to be the number two starters for the Rockies and Cardinals, but both pitched well tonight. Lohse gave the Cardinals five shutout innings, while Wells allowed one run in 5 1/3. The game is tied at one in the top of the eight, and the Rockies have the bases loaded with one out.
Update: Flores comes in and strikes out the first two batters with the bases loaded, but then walks Nix to drive in the go-ahead run.
