Jason Hirsh update (Denver Post, 22 April 2007)

With a daunting trip to the Big Apple staring them in the face and an ugly, three-game losing streak sitting heavy on their shoulders, the Rockies needed a special performance Sunday afternoon.
Rookie pitcher Jason Hirsh gave it to them. The rookie right-hander out-Madduxed Greg Maddux for the second time this season as the Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 at Coors Field.
Creatively mixing his fastball, curve and changeup, Hirsh allowed two earned runs on just four hits in seven innings. Hirsh struck out seven and walked two, improving to 2-1 and whittling his ERA to 3.16. "Tip your hat to the other guy," said Maddux, the four-time Cy Young winner.
