FACTS/FLUKES: Jimenez, Murphy, Blackburn, Pennington, Pestano

Jimenez a good bet to post improved numbers…It’s been an exciting week for Ubaldo Jiménez (RHP, CLE). First, the dust-up with his former Colorado teammates; then, he took a no-hitter into the seventh inning on Saturday. While he needs to serve a five-day suspension, it won’t have much effect due to days off in the early schedule.
