| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, May 25th, 2010: 6-Hit Game for Taveras
It seemed that Colorado right fielder Willy Taveras could do no wrong as the Rockies kayoed the Giants 12-0 today as he rapped out 6 hits in 6 at-bats. San Francisco pitchers couldn't get him out as Taveras seemed to know which pitches they were throwing.
"I think the Rockies were stealing signs," growled one unhappy San Francisco fan.
"I just felt good today. I saw the ball well and just wanted to make good contact and put the ball in play," exclaimed the jubilant Taveras in the postgame press interview.
W. Taveras doubled in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
In the 2010 season Taveras has hit .319 with no home runs, 11 RBIs and scored 16 runs.

| Thursday, May 20th, 2010: Morales out of Action
Franklin Morales at first refused to leave today's San Francisco-Colorado game after he suffered a damaged meniscus while throwing a pitch. But his manager convinced him not to be foolish. "I want to be on the field," the feisty Colorado starting pitcher said. "I'll play through just about anything." Given time to reflect on the situation, he knew it was in his best interest to get immediate treatment. The injury is expected to keep Morales out of action for 1-2 weeks.
Morales in 2010 has fashioned a 5-2 mark, 4.50 ERA and thrown 50 innings in 9 starts. Opposing clubs are batting .267 against him.
