The offense has been the Os for much of the season — Tulo, CarGo and Olivo. Troy Tulowitzki continued his strong play over the past month, hitting safely for the 19th time in his past 21 games. Bucking for his first all-star berth, Tulowitzki leads all shortstops in average (.309) and ranks third in home runs (eight).
Ol’ Roy.
If Roy Oswalt refused to waive his no-trade clause for the Rockies, it won’t be because of Coors Field. After allowing two runs in seven innings, his ERA on Blake Street is 2.25 in 36 innings.
Bunt assessment.
The Rockies lost a scoring opportunity in the second inning when pitcher Jhoulys Chacin failed to lay down a sacrifice bunt with a runner on first base. Chacin atoned with his first career hit in the fifth inning, a single to left field.
