Getting your player ready...
Jose Lopez took a cue from Carlos Gonzalez. Looking to break out of a 3-for-37 slump, Lopez broke out the bunt. The perfectly-placed roller down the third-base line helped ignite the four-run rally in the second inning. Lopez is expected to start at third base today with Ty Wigginton out with a slightly strained oblique.
Painted Gold.
Andrew McCutchen has never won a Gold Glove, but he might if his home was Coors Field. For the second straight year, he turned in web gems, corralling Lopez’s sinking liner to end the fifth inning.
First and short.
While it seems that the Rockies have been ambushed in the first inning, they have scored the identical 21 runs as their opponents.
