OVERALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK:

Rockies' first baseman Justin Morneau. The veteran had a triple slash line of .440/.407/.640 this past week. He hit one homer, but managed to knock in 10 runs. He also scored four times and hit two doubles.

BEST INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE:

Dodgers' pitcher Dan Haren. The righty earned the win 6-4 on June 14th over the Diamondbacks not only because of his performance on the mound, but also because of his day at the plate. Haren hit a bases-clearing double in the fourth inning to give Los Angeles a 6-3 lead it never surrendered.

OVERALL TEAM OF THE WEEK:

The Colorado Rockies. Colorado lost its first two games before winning its final five in a row. The most impressive part was the Rockies ability to sweep the first-place Giants in three games in San Francisco.

WORST INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE:

Rockies' pitcher Juan Nicasio. On June 10th against the Braves, Nicasio gave up 10 earned runs on 11 hits through 3.2 innings. The righty walked and struck out two while giving up three homers.
