Rockies host Cards this week.
Good win for the Rockies on Sunday. They beat the Dodgers 7-2 at Coors Field, downing L.A. for the first time this season and avoiding the insult of standing alone with the fewest wins in baseball.
Colorado (12-19) is tied with San Diego (12-20), Cincinnati (12-20) and Pittsburgh (12-19) for the fewest wins in the major leagues, and won’t be favored to climb out of that hole this week.
Tonight, the Rockies start a four-game series at Coors Field against St. Louis, which is alone atop the National League’s Central Division, 1 1/2 games ahead of the Chicago Cubs.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
Bozak will be back.
It’s a good time to renew your University of Denver hockey tickets for the 2008-09 season. The Pioneers got great news last week from freshman Tyler Bozak, who announced he would return to DU for his sophomore season.
Bozak, an undrafted NHL free agent, paced DU with 18 goals and 34 points last season and garnered interest from numerous NHL teams.
He said he instructed his “family adviser” — otherwise known as an uncontracted agent — to let all NHL teams know of his intention to return to school.
With Bozak back, DU is pegged to return 11 of its top 12 forwards from last season, and incoming freshman Joe Colborne could be the program’s next superstar.
Last week, Colborne was named Canada’s junior-A player of the year, and in June he could be DU’s first NHL first-round draft pick since defenseman Craig Redmond in 1984.
