Troy Tulowitzki Leads Majors

Troy Tulowitzki leads the Majors in batting at .385, and is hitting .575 in his 12 home games.

Charlie Blackmon is at .380, with at least one hit in 11 of his 13 games at Coors, and Justin Morneau has a 13-game home hit streak and a .365 home batting average.

Then again, Nolan Arenado is hitting everywhere as evidenced by a 22-game hit streak. The run, during which he is batting .352 with two home runs, six doubles and 10 RBIs, is tied for third-longest in franchise history.

The Rockies have made a party of it the last two nights against the Mets, with 17 runs and 24 hits in two wins. The Mets will call upon righty Jenrry Mejia (3-0, 3.49 ERA) to slow that offense in Saturday night’s third game of a four-game set.

Rockies lefty Franklin Morales (3-1, 4.40 ERA) will try to continue the success of the rotation, which is 10-2 with a 3.08 ERA since April 15 and is a key reason the club entered Saturday a game behind the National League West-leading Giants.

The Mets have their own hot hitter. Juan Lagares went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in the Rockies’ 10-3 victory on Friday. Lagares has an 11-game hit streak, during which he has hit .333 (15-for-45) with four doubles, six RBIs and five runs scored.
