Getting your player ready...
Since returning from his minor-league demotion July 15, Dexter Fowler is hitting .333 in 108 at-bats. What the Rockies need is his continued aggressiveness on the basepaths. He was picked off in the first inning Saturday, leaving him 6-for-9 in stolen-base attempts over the last month and 8-for-17 on the season.

After going hitless in seven of the previous nine games before the road trip, Mark Ellis is heating up. He has three multi-hit games in his last five starts.
Five no longer alive.
The Rockies broke a five-game losing streak at Busch Stadium.
