Said Rockies manager Jim Tracy, when asked before the game about Troy Tulowitzki’s recent struggles at the plate: “He’ll get it fixed, I promise you.” Barely three hours later, Tulowitzki hit a three-run, first-inning homer off Brandon Beachy. Not that the Rockies go as Tulo goes, but they’re 14-4 when he homers after finishing 20-3 last season when he went deep.
Prime ribbie.
Talk about consistent. Seth Smith in the season’s first three months: .306, two homers, 12 RBIs, .303-3-10, and .308-3-13. But Smith was hitting .240-0-2 in July before his run-scoring double in the third.
.500 club.
Almost 17 seasons later, the Braves needed to win Tuesday night to reach .500 at Coors Field. Instead, the loss dropped them to 32-34 in LoDo.
