Getting your player ready...
Todd Helton went into the game fourth in the National League with a .420 on-base percentage. He had reached base in eight consecutive plate appearances, his longest streak since 2007, before grounding out in the first.
Olivo’s road woes continue.
Miguel Olivo has a team-high eight homers, but his home/road splits are disturbing. He singled in the ninth to lift his road batting average to .140 (8-for-57). He’s hitting .423 (22-for-52) at Coors Field, with six of his eight homers.
U the man.
Don’t blame Ubaldo Jimenez for the Rockies’ problems. He’s 8-1, but they’re 2-6 after his eight wins.
