Daniel Murphy Provides Late Heroics
6 years agoColorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy has gotten back into his groove after missing time at the start of the season with a thumb injury, and Monday's game was a perfect example of the kind of boost he provides to the team. With the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, Murphy did exactly what he was trying to do, smack a double. Once he was on second, Murphy shocked the world and swiped third. The steal helped give Ryan McMahon a nice pitch to hit and Murphy scored easily on McMahon's go-ahead single. Murphy recently had a seven-game hitting streak broken, but he's still hitting .343 since May 21 with five doubles, a triple, and three home runs. For owners who patiently held, it's time reap the rewards.
