It’s official: Troy Tulowitzki is having a historic September. Tulowitzki’s two-run home run in the fifth inning Saturday gave him 37 RBIs, a National League record for September. He later added Nos. 38 and 39. The previous mark of 36 was held by the Cubs’ Hank Leiber in 1939 and Hall of Famer Johnny Mize in 1940. Babe Ruth holds the major-league record with 43 RBIs in September 1927.
Buster Posey’s next two bloopers are bound to fall.
How do we know? Because he was robbed in the fifth and sixth. Tulowitzki threw him out after barehanding a ball that glanced off Melvin Mora’s glove, and Carlos Gonzalez made a diving, backhanded catch of a would-be double or triple.
Never fails.
The Rockies, who had two hits against Tim Lincecum and Brian Wilson on Friday night, had two in the first inning off Barry Zito.
