Over the last four days, the Rockies provided a tantalizing taste of the kind of baseball they are capable of playing.
In their final game before the all-star break, the Rockies hammered 17 hits, beating the Atlanta Braves 11-3 on a sun-soaked Sunday afternoon at Coors Field to complete a rare four-game sweep. It was the first series sweep at home for the Rockies this season and their first four-game sweep since beating Arizona Sept. 18-21 at Coors Field.
All-Star Game-bound Troy Tulowitzki hit a three-run homer off reliever David Carpenter in the Rockies' five-run sixth and Drew Stubbs adding a two-run shot off Carpenter in the seventh.
