Spilborghs Pounds HR, 5 RBI
Ryan Spilborghs finished 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and five RBI as the Rockies beat the Braves on Wednesday night. Spilborghs also scored three runs. Willie Taveras certainly took notice of the potential threat’s strong effort, finishing 2-for-4 with three runs scored and two stolen bases. Yorvit Torrealba also contributed for the Rockies, driving in four runs in a 3-for-4 effort that also included a three-run home run. With Atlanta’s Chuck James coming from the left side, Spilborghs got the start in right field in place of Brad Hawpe. Last year Spilborghs hit .338/.395/.510 against lefties, so it was imperative to get him in the lineup on Wednesday. (Rotoworld, Rotowire)
