Paulsen is swinging the balance in the Rockies' favor these days. With Colorado leading by one run in the seventh inning Saturday afternoon, Paulsen pulled a home run off reliever Luis Garcia into the right-field seats for one of the necessary add-on runs in the 5-2 victory over the Phillies.
In Friday night's 4-2 win, Paulsen's homer to the left-center-field gap in the ninth, also off Garcia, provided the final two runs.
Since being promoted May 19, with the Rockies needing him at first base for the injured Justin Morneau and in left field for the injured Corey Dickerson, Paulsen has hit safely in 10 of his 11 games (.
