When the Rockies held on to beat the Mets, 11-10, in a Coors Field hit parade, Bud Black notched the 441st win of his Colorado career, moving him past Don Baylor.
“Our guys are rallying around each other,” Black said. “It’s really a good group of guys who understand their role. We have really started to play better baseball in all three phases.”Outfielder Randal Grichuk, who opened the season on the injured list after undergoing surgery to repair a bilateral hernia, has been a hot hitter since being reinstated from the injured list April 29. Grichuk is slashing .366/.424/.512.
Sunday, he hit 3 for 4 with two doubles and two RBIs, his third three-hit game of the season and third multi-hit game of the homestand. Grichuk batted 9 for 21 with four doubles over six games during the homestand. “Our winning has sort of coincided with his return,” Black said. “He got off to a really great start and his on-base percentage is about 50 points above his career average. That’s solid. I still think the homer is in there. There have been homers in his past, so I think there are homers in his future.
