Chris Rusin entered the game looking to bounce back from a string of less than stellar performances that culminated in a stinker in his last outing which lasted just four innings. He needed 92 pitches in that game to get through just four innings in which he allowed six runs on eight hits and four walks. Although not great, Rusin's start today kept the Rockies in the game and the team's bats helped them complete the three-game sweep of the Dodgers, thereby ensuring that the division title wouldn't be awarded to them just yet.
