____________________________________________________________

The Washington Nationals host the Colorado Rockies for a four-game set this week.  The Nats are coming off a series win against the Milwaukee Brewers, taking the first two games in style, then suffering an embarrassing 10-run first inning in Sunday's loss.

The Rockies lost two out of three to the Atlanta Braves over the weekend, their only win courtesy of Ubaldo Jiminez' no-hitter, the first in Rockies history on Saturday.
