SAN FRANCISCO -- If the Rockies' season ends the way they want, the power that second baseman DJ LeMahieu has displayed for the last month will be a big part of the story. But LeMahieu actually foreshadowed his ability to turn games with the home run -- not previously a big part of his game -- on June 28 against the Giants.
That day, the Rockies built a 5-2 lead through the top of the fourth, only to see it disappear with the struggles of righty pitcher Jon Gray, whose performance would lead to his being sent down to Triple-A.
