The Colorado Rockies are looking to extend their winning streak to a season-high four games. They certainly have the right person on the mound to help them accomplish that feat. Ubaldo Jimenez can make history while looking to become the majors’ first nine-game winner as the Rockies continue their home series with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night. An NL Cy Young Award candidate, Jimenez leads the majors in wins and ERA. He continued his dominance by allowing one hit before leg cramps forced him out after seven innings of a 4-0 win at Houston on Thursday. The effort left Jimenez as the second major league starter in the past 90 years to begin a season with nine starts of six or more innings while giving up three or fewer runs. Now, he has a chance to tie St. Louis’ Bob Tewksbury, who went 10 starts in 1992.
Jimenez, who cited Houston’s humid conditions as the reason for his cramping, appears healthy and looks to help Colorado continue its surge. The Rockies won the final two games at Kansas City before beating Arizona 3-2 on Monday to start a stretch of 12 straight games against NL West opponents. Jimenez improved to 3-2 with a 2.47 ERA in nine starts against Arizona after he allowed two hits in six scoreless innings of a 12-1 home win over the Diamondbacks on April 27. The right-hander has yielded one run and seven hits while striking out 14 in 13 innings over his last two starts against the Diamondbacks. Troy Tulowitzki and Brad Hawpe each homered while Todd Helton added three hits Tuesday for the Rockies, who evened the season series with Arizona after dropping two of three to the Diamondbacks last month at Coors Field. Helton, 12 for 30 in his last nine games, is a lifetime .342 hitter against Arizona at Coors.
