Double Trouble

Todd Helton picked up his thirty fifth double of the season today, the tenth straight season he's reached that plateau. According to the broadcast, he's the first player to accomplish that feat. All-time record holder Tris Speaker misses twelve straight years of thirty five when the 1918 season was cut short due to WWI. Speaker had 33 when the season ended. He hit over 40 the previous two seasons, then at least 35 each of the next nine years.

More importantly, the Rockies win 4-2, taking two out of three from San Diego and gaining a game in the NL Wild Card race over the series.
