At the All-Star Game, Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said a Rockies lineup without Matt Holliday would change how everyone else is pitched. Holliday commands respect. He has been a monster since returning from the disabled list June 10, hitting .375 with 12 home runs and 39 RBIs. Holliday posted his 11th multi-home run game Saturday and his second against the Marlins this season.
Rx update.
Ryan Spilborghs (left oblique) is making steady progress in his recovery after throwing on consecutive days. A follow-up exam confirmed a non-displaced fracture of Scott Podsednik’s left pinky finger. He hopes to return in two weeks.
Tulo rests.
Troy Tulowitzki was given the first five innings off as a planned rest day. Tulo, a huge Dolphins’ fan, toured the football locker room before the game.
