Chris Iannetta’s Saturday night began with a bang and ended with a limp. In the sixth, the catcher rounded third, looking to score from second on Garrett Atkins’ single. But Iannetta pulled up lame after straining his right hamstring. He was immediately pulled from the game, replaced by Yorvit Torrealba. Iannetta is officially listed as day-to-day, but a hamstring injury is especially tough on a catcher, so a trip to the disabled list appears likely. There were indications late Saturday night that Paul Phillips, 32, would be called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs to serve as the Rockies’ second catcher. Phillips has spent time in the majors in each of the last five seasons.
Flying Fowler.
Dexter Fowler’s fleet feet were finally back in action Saturday night. He tripled to right lead off the game, scoring on Troy Tulowitzki’s sacrifice fly. He singled in the third, eventually scoring on Todd Helton’s grounder to first. Fowler scored just five times in his previous 20 games.
