Getting your player ready...
We’re No. 4! That has been the Rockies’ reality for most of the season. They haven’t led the National League West since winning on opening day, and they have been in fourth place for all but two days since May 11.
Picked off by plenty.
It’s one thing to get picked off. It’s something else to get picked off so easily that you didn’t slide. That’s what happened to Seth Smith when he strayed too far off second base in the fifth and was gunned down by Humberto Quintero.
Hat trick for Tulo.
Troy Tulowitzki had struck out twice in 28 at-bats in June, only to go down swinging in each of his first three at-bats against Felipe Paulino.
