Rockies' Tulowitzki explains why 41-game streak made him better

The streak is over, but it just might have made Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki a better ballplayer.

Tulo’s streak of 41 consecutive games reaching bases — the longest of his career and the longest
active streak in the majors — ended Tuesday night in the Rockies’ 9-0 loss to the Rangers.

Tulo had some interesting things to say about the streak after it was over.

Asked what the key elements of his run were, he answered: “Routine probably sticks out. I was very into my routine. My focus was high. When you have a streak, you get to those third and fourth at-bats and the focus is still there, even in a blowout or things like that.
