Getting your player ready...
It’s nothing to see a player get hit by a pitch, steal a base and score a run. But it’s something when it’s 38-year-old Jason Giambi. He swiped his first bag since 2008 in the fourth inning, and reached home on a bases-loaded walk to Paul Phillips.
Mobile man.
Looking to get Todd Helton a day off, the Rockies moved Melvin Mora to first base when Ian Stewart took over third in the sixth inning. Mora has played first, second and third base this season.
Running total.
Ryan Spilborghs cost the Rockies a run in the fourth when he was tagged out trying to advance to third on a single before Mora crossed the plate. Manager Jim Tracy slammed his hands in the dugout rail over the mistake.
