Starter Ubaldo Jimenez didn’t have a great night on the mound, but he’s definitely handling the bat a whole lot better. Apparently all of that work in spring training is paying off. He laid down a nice sacrifice bunt in the third and followed up with another in the fourth, giving him a team-high six. He had seven sacrifice bunts all last season. In the sixth, with the Mariners moving in for another bunt, Jimenez swung away, dribbling a ball into right field for a base hit and driving in Troy Tulowitzki with the tying run.
Tulo time.
Tulowitzki is starting to look like Tulo again. With his bruised right hand fully healed, plus extra time in the cages with hitting coach Don Baylor paying dividends, he blasted a solo homer to center leading off the fourth inning. It was his third homer in his last five games. He has an extra-base hit in five consecutive games. Patrick Saunders, The Denver Post
