MILWAUKEE -- The Rockies' revolving door at first base continued to spin on Wednesday, as Gerardo Parra made his first career start at the position in a matinee against the Brewers.
Since Mark Reynolds (left hand) went on the disabled list on Aug. 12, Colorado has mostly been using a platoon system at first, with Ben Paulsen against right-handers and Ryan Raburn against southpaws. As Reynolds is likely out for the season following surgery, the quest to solidify the position continued Wednesday, with Parra batting fifth in the lineup.
"When Reynolds went down, we've been kind of looking at different options, so it's been a bit of a revolving door over there," manager Walt Weiss said.
