    A young, flamethrowing righty turned in a masterful performance for the Colorado Rockies.

    And his name wasn't even Ubaldo Jimenez.

    Jhoulys Chacin tossed a six-hitter for his first career complete game, Chris Iannetta hit a bases-clearing triple and the Rockies won their seventh straight, beating the Chicago Cubs 5-0 on Friday night.

    The Rockies are off to their best start in franchise history, improving to 11-2 behind the performance of Chacin, who's picking up the slack quite nicely with Jimenez sidelined due to a cracked cuticle on his right thumb.

    In windy and cool conditions, Chacin (3-0) struck out seven and walked two. He smacked his fist into his glove when the Rockies recorded a 5-4-3 double play to end the game.
