Down Goes Grand Junction, 7-4, to Washington (Rk+)
The inspired effort of Grand Junction designated hitter Juan Barcia was not enough to prevent a loss, 7-4, to the Washington (Rk+) Nationals. Barcia was 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Chad Klausman collected his 2nd save. The Nationals are now 14-8.

Despite the loss, the Rockies got an encouraging performance from 19-year-old Juan Barcia. In the top of the seventh, he hit a grand slam home run to make the score 7-4, Washington (Rk+). "It's not easy for a young guy to go out there and perform," Rockies manager Efrain Molinar said. "But he did it like one of the vets."
