Rockies' Vizcaino stopped for DUI 
Rockies pitcher Luis Vizcaino was arrested Monday and police said he was driving under the influence. Officers said he was going 71 mph in a 45 mph zone early Monday morning. Police said Vizcaino's eyes were glassy and bloodshot and he smelled of alcohol, with a blood alcohol level just over the legal limit. The 34-year-old reliever, who lives in Florida, was bailed out of jail just before noon on Monday. The Rockies did not immediately return calls, and it was not known if Vizcaino had an attorney. He was 1-2 this season with a 5.28 ERA. MLB Player News: CBSSports.com, 2008-10-28 06:21:59
