MILWAUKEE (AP)—The Colorado Rockies are learning to love life on the road under new manager Jim Tracy.
Aaron Cook(notes) pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning and closer Huston Street(notes) shook off a ninth-inning home run by Ryan Braun to earn his fourth save in as many games, lifting the Rockies to a 5-4 victory and three-game sweep over Milwaukee on Thursday.
That’s eight straight wins, all on the road, for the Rockies, who completed a four-game sweep of St. Louis earlier this week—shredding two of the NL Central’s best over seven days.
“I think we should just go straight to Seattle,” Cook said.
Instead, the Rockies will face the Mariners at home, where they’re 9-14 this season.
“Now we have to take this home with us to our fans and get our house in order,” Tracy said. “Because we’re a much better team at home than 9-14.”
