Getting your player ready...
Todd Helton might not be an all-star given the depth at his position, but he has been the Rockies’ most consistent hitter this season. The veteran first baseman has hit at least .300 in every month. He drove in his 34th run Monday, leaving him just three shy of last season’s total. Helton is on pace to hit 19 home runs and have 70 RBIs.
Bad manners.
On an early-inning foul ball, Cubs reliever Shawn Hill made no attempt to move as left fielder Charlie Blackmon ran into the bullpen. The umpire warned Hill.
Homer happy.
The Rockies have homered in 10 consecutive games, tying their season high. They have 17 homers during this stretch.
