"It didn't surprise us," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "Itmight have surprised other people, but these guys come to play.A big six-run inning for us, and then a nice win to start thehomestand." Hirsh (4-7) was outstanding in this one, yielding just threehits with two strikeouts before leaving in the bottom of thesixth with an ankle injury suffered during a pickoff play as hewas leading off third base. "I just wanted to keep our team close. I thought if we keep ourteam within striking distance I'd help them out," Hirsh said.
