Infielder Jonathan Herrera is not Ryan Spilborghs, but he has a way of lightening the mood in any clubhouse. Asked about his swinging, 70-foot pop-up single in Sunday’s win at Coors Field, he said, “The wind was blowing in.”

Rockies’ Tulowitzki makes big strides during...
Fans who arrived early to Coors Field on Wednesday witnessed an encouraging sight.
There was shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, making strong throws from the hole, turning smooth double plays and gliding on the basepaths. Tulo’s personal workout lasted about 30 minutes and by all accounts it was a success.
