Getting your player ready...
His spot in the rotation hanging in the balance, the last thing Aaron Cook needed was a dose of the Giants. Their eight starting position players were 39-for-80 (.488) vs. him, then proceeded to go 8-for-16 on Tuesday night before Cook was pulled.
Bats go silent.
The Rockies had three hits: two singles and Melvin Mora’s double. They had scored six-plus runs in each game of a four-game winning streak before Tuesday, during which they hit .381.
Andres the Giant.
Giants leadoff hitter Andres Torres, who began the season as the team’s fifth outfielder, has 49 extra-base hits, seven more than Rockies team leader Carlos Gonzalez.
