Getting your player ready...
Chris Iannetta was involved with the outcome beyond the box score. His single helped fuel an eighth-inning rally, but it was his game-calling that paid huge dividends. He decided before the first pitch that he would call predominantly fastballs in order to get struggling ace Ubaldo Jimenez back on track. Jimenez followed Iannetta’s fingers, pitching seven innings for the first time this season. “It worked out,” Iannetta said.
Snake eyes:
Troy Tulowitzki’s 11 home runs lead all shortstops. On this date a year ago, Tulowitzki had one home run.
Finding rhythm:
Ryan Spilborghs is 7-for-12 with three runs scored in his last three starts.
