Getting your player ready...
Troy Tulowitzki is not only seeking his first Gold Glove, he’s also chasing history. At age 24, he’s trying to become the first shortstop in major-league history to hit at least 25 home runs and have a fielding percentage of .990 or better in the same season. He blasted a two-run homer in the third, his 28th. He’s fielding at a .988 clip.
