Aaron Cook looked like the Rockies' ace with 5 1-3 shutout innings Saturday in Colorado's 12-2 win over San Francisco.

And he won the job. Colorado manager Clint Hurdle announced after the game that Cook would start on opening day against Arizona on April 2.

"We have been tilted that way since early on. We were weighing between (Cook), Jeff (Francis) and Rodrigo (Lopez), just because (Lopez) has some experience doing it," Hurdle said.
