For somebody with bad wheels, Dexter Fowler did some cruising. Back in the starting lineup for the first time since Monday night when he bruised his left knee making a spectacular catch, he cranked out a career-high four hits, including three doubles. His 27 doubles lead all major-league rookies. “I was about 70 percent today, running around out there,” Fowler said. “But I got the pitches I wanted to hit, and I hit them.”
Shutdown.
Rockies pitchers held the Pirates to three hits, the 10th time this season the Rockies have held the opposition to four or fewer hits in a game. They held the Pirates to four hits on Wednesday.
Lucky 13.
The Rockies improved to 64-51, 13 games above .500, for the first time this season.
