Colorado Rockies preparing for the offseason

The D-backs pitching staff stifled the Rockies | rockies.com

PHOENIX -- Solid pitching -- beginning with right-hander Chase Anderson -- and just enough fundamental offense lifted the D-backs to a 3-1 victory over the Rockies at Chase Field on Wednesday night. Anderson (7-6), coming off a career-best 10 strikeouts in his previous start, held the Rockies to one run and four hits in 5 1/3 innings, before giving way to the bullpen. Relievers Keith Hessler, Randall Delgado, David Hernandez, Matt Reynolds and Daniel Hudson (third save) combined to hold the Rockies scoreless.

Justin Morneau a true leader for the Rockies | rockies.com

PHOENIX -- Rockies manager Walt Weiss is making sure Justin Morneau spends what could be his final days in purple pinstripes as a player, rather than a mentor. While sitting out from May to September with a neck strain and concussion symptoms, Morneau graciously prepared Ben Paulsen to be his successor at first base by offering support, advice, even the occasional quip. But since Sept. 4, when he returned from the disabled list, Morneau has hit .350 in 60 at-bats, and he notched his third triple in that time during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the D-backs. He has also started 16 of 19 games in a clear show of respect from the manager.
