Rockies closer Huston Street says his 20-pitch performance in batting practice went well and his right shoulder was fine. Colorado has been cautious with Street this spring training after he experienced inflammation in the shoulder. He said he was hitting his spots Friday and getting good movement on his pitches.
Ubaldo Jimenez showed little rust Tuesday with three scoreless innings to help the Colorado Rockies to a 12-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jimenez, the Rockies' projected opening day starter, made his first start of the spring look easy by giving up one hit with two strikeouts -- but he did walk three batters.
Rockies manager Jim Tracy really enjoyed Aaron Cook's spring debut Sunday, and he was very pleased with Manuel Corpas, too. Cook worked three solid innings and Corpas got four outs to help Colorado beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1 in a split-squad game that was stopped with one out in the seventh inning because of rain.
