Colorado Rockies pitcher Jamie Moyer made history last night in Denver. Moyer pitched seven strong innings and became the oldest starting pitcher in major league history to win a game in the Rockies’ 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres. The 49-year, 150-day old Moyer scattered six hits and allowed two unearned runs in picking up career victory number 268. In support of the lefty’s efforts, Dexter Fowler clouted a two-run homer, his second of the season, and Wilin Rosario drove in a pair of runs. Rafael Betancourt worked into some trouble in the ninth inning but wriggled off the hook for his third save. The Rockies move to 5-6 on the season and go for a series win over the Padres tonight, with Juan Nicasio on the mound against San Diego’s Clayton Richard. ESPN Radio 1410 has the action, with pregame coverage at 7:05 and first pitch at 7:40.
