Getting your player ready...
Todd Helton came within an inch or two of his first home run at Coors Field this season. Helton’s drive to right-center in the fourth inning hit on top of the yellow line above the wall but popped in the air for a double. Helton now has 82 at-bats in Denver without a homer. He has one homer on the road in 105 ABs.
Big O(livo).
Miguel Olivo is hitting .500 again. A recent string of stolen bases had dropped him to 14-for-29 in throwing out runners before he gunned down Fred Lewis in the sixth inning.
Juggling act.
How much has Jim Tracy had to juggle his lineup? Jonathan Herrera hit first, the sixth different leadoff hitter Tracy has used this season.
