Cooking Up a Win
Aaron Cook goes the distance tonight as the Rockies defeat the Padres 4-0. For Cook, it's the eighth complete game of his career, but his first shutout. Cook blew through the Padres, using just 79 pitches, 58 for strikes. That's one of the lowest numbers I've seen in a long time. The Padres had five batters reach on hits as Cook walked none, but two of those were erased with double plays. It was, in fact, a Maddux like performance.
