Rockies Take Down Rangers, 4-3
The Colorado Rockies faced a tough opponent in Texas pitcher Javy Alfaro, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Globe Life Field by a final score of 4-3. Alfaro went 8 innings and allowed 1 run. The winner was Mike Smeaton in relief. His record improves to 4-6. Pierce Johnson took the loss. At 70-56, the Rockies find themselves in second place in the American League Central Division.

Colorado used the timely hitting of Javy Navarro to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rockies on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Colorado manager Weston Rockies.
