DENVER -- Rockies first baseman Wilin Rosario had not started since Monday, and he had just four at-bats between then and Saturday. But work in the batting cage kept him sharp enough to unleash three hits, including two home runs, in Saturday's 10-5 victory over the Marlins at Coors Field.
"It's like when you're building the house, and on the last day the people give it to you, you feel really happy," Rosario said.
Manager Walt Weiss wants to platoon the right-handed-hitting Rosario and lefty-swinging Ben Paulsen. The problem is the Rockies' schedule is light on lefty pitchers.
