RMN said the Rockies wanted to

get a good test in for Yorvit before they send Melhuse down to the minors. If it bothers him too much, it could be the impetus to a DL stint.

It was said on the post game..

that CDI was initially in the lineup for tonight’s game and was a late scratch with a foot issue, but it seems like it’s pretty minor so that’s good I guess.

"A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done."

"Spilly picked me up...He came into the dugout and said, 'We're going to get a win for you right now,' and he did it. "
