June 12, 2007 Rockies 7, Red Sox 1

Doug Mirabelli knocks in the only Sox run, but his sloppy fielding and a Brad Hawpe 2-run homerun give the Rockies all the runs they would need. Kaz Matsui, in the 3rd inning, stole second and third with Mirabelli overthrowing third base on the allowing Matsui to score. He also had two passed balls for the game, oddly enough not when Tim Wakefield was on the mound! Both were in the 9th, with Joel Piniero on the hill. Aaron Cook goes the distance for the Rockies, as they end the Sox 6 game winning streak. Still a most impressive 12-2 in their last 14 games, as they have turned a 4th place, 2 game behind defecit into now leading the division by 2 1/2 over the second place Blue Jays.

Aaron Cook pitched a complete game as the Colorado Rockies defeated the Boston
Red Sox by a score of 7 to 1 at Fenway Park.
 
Colorado took the lead for keeps in the top of the 2nd inning when they scored
2 runs on 1 hit.  That was all the offense they were to need.  Both teams
totaled 7 hits on the night.  
 
Cook(4-4) lasted until the end allowing 1 run for the win. Tim Wakefield(3-7)
ended up with the loss.  He gave up 5 hits and 3 walks in 6 and 1/3 innings.
 
With this win, Colorado has a 28-36 record.  They have been 6-4 lately. Boston
will hope that this loss is only a 'blip' on their recent 8-2 run - and not a
start of a new trend.
