In another move to foster some more runs, I've inserted Brant Brown into the starter's role in place of Dave Clark who's hit .208/.222/.283 in 53 AB with 1 BB vs. 14 K.

Steve Traschel takes the mound for us in front of 30,267 fans. I'm hoping that the addition of Batista and Brown will improve our slugging if not our on base percentage too.

Things start out promisingly enough as we get two men on, including Noodle Arm via walk allowing us to tag John Thomson for 14 pitches before Swing For the Fences comes up. He pops out after only 2 pitches and Brant Brown flies out to end the inning with the only noteworthy thing being that we worked Thomson to 20 pitches.

After three innings, both teams are scoreless but Thomson is over 40 pitches while Steve Traschel has been holding his own thanks to some solid defense.

Through five, Steve Traschel has a no hitter going but the perfect game got lost thanks to an error by Mark Grace. In the bottom of the fifth, Dave Hansen strikes with a Solo Home Run to give us the one run lead despite only three hits thus far.

The no hitter was intact through 7.1 innings until Larry Walker broke it up with a single.

We're still shutting out Colorado and in the bottom of the eighth, Swing For the Fences gives us some insurance with a Two Run Home Run to put us ahead 3-0.

In the ninth, Steve Traschel calmly mows down the three hitters he faces and we win our 6th game of the year.

CHC 3 COL 0
WP: Steve Traschel (1-1) 9.0 IP, 2 HA, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
LP: John Thomson 7.0 IP, 6 HA, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

Like you really need to ask who gets the Game Ball?
