Alou Stars in Diamondbacks Win
The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Colorado Rockies, 11-4, at Bank One Ballpark today. Leading the charge for Arizona was designated hitter Moises Alou. He was 4-4 with a triple, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Scott Karl, who went 9 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 7 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 9. His record now stands at 21-4. Arizona improves to 83-59 with the win. They lead their division by 7½ games.

The Diamondbacks used some clutch hitting to beat the Rockies, a good example being the at-bat of Tony Gwynn in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, Gwynn gave his team the lead, 4-3, when he hit a run-scoring double.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Alou told the Arizona Observer.
