The Colorado Rockies were wrapping up a four-game series that had started the previous Friday against the Chicago Cubs. They had won two of the previous three games against the Cubs so, at worst, they would be looking for a split in the series. However, Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki would make taking three out of four much easier as on this night, he would hit for the cycle in front of 34,485 people in attendance and thousands more watching on television and thousands more listening on radio.
This is how the starting lineups would look that evening.
