Mercker Gives Colorado Goose Eggs
Today was Kent Mercker's turn in the rotation for the Baltimore Orioles and he made the most of it, shutting out the Colorado Rockies on 3 hits.

The 30-year-old left-hander led the Orioles to an easy 6-0 victory, allowing 1 walk and tallying 10 strikeouts.

"I hope we miss him next time," Colorado manager Joe Gratefuldad said. "Mercker certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds."
