Getting your player ready...
Apparently Troy Tulowitzki has found the right antibiotic. He joins Todd Helton and Seth Smith as the only players not infected by a team-wide slump. Tulowitzki doubled home a run in the first inning, his 13th RBI since the all-star break. He also threw out Wladimir Balentien with a spinning throw from behind second base in the seventh.
Center of attention.
Carlos Gonzalez, making his first start of the road trip, made a diving catch in center field to rob Laynce Nix in the fourth inning.
Free Willy.
Former Rockie Willy Taveras did not start for the Reds because of a sore left wrist. He has struggled offensively with a .279 on-base percentage.
