Getting your player ready...
Lack of offensive execution has been the Rockies’ albatross much of the season, but not Thursday. In the fourth inning, Garrett Atkins and Ryan Spilborghs produced back-to-back, base-loaded sacrifice flies. True, they didn’t come through with enormous hits, but they did produce runs in the clutch. After hitting just one sacrifice fly in their first 27 games, the Rockies have five in the past eight games.
Holliday’s day.
Matt Holliday matched his career high with four hits. It was the 11th time he has done it and the first since last Sept. 18 vs. Los Angeles. Holliday finished the seven-game homestand batting 11-for-27 (.407) with one homer and six RBIs.
