DENVER -- Rockies left fielder Corey Dickerson stays cool.
He has plantar fasciitis in his left foot, has had it since late Spring Training. The pain caused him to leave Monday's game and miss much of Tuesday's. Truth is, he still has it, but it doesn't worry him. Returning to the starting lineup Wednesday to face Padres ace James Shields didn't faze him.
"Just don't care who's out there, go out there with same approach, knowing that we're good, that we've got each other's back," said Dickerson, who promptly swatted Shields' first pitch to him over the center-field wall in the first inning, tied the game with an eighth-inning homer and later smiled and celebrated a 5-4 victory.
