Dexter Fowler singled in Yorvit Torrealba in the bottom of the 10th Saturday to give the Rockies a 7-6 win over the Dodgers.
It was Fowler's second RBI single of the game. He hasn't homered since hitting his eighth way back on April 29, but since he is stealing bases and scoring runs, he still rates as a valuable mixed-league outfielder.

Dexter Fowler had a monster night in Saturday's 10-2 romp over the Giants, going 3-for-5 with a double, a steal, two RBI and three runs scored.
Fowler began May in a 5-of-39 funk, failing to steal a base or hit a home run. In his last three games, he's 6-for-15 with two steals, an extra-base hit and five runs. Right hip flexor soreness hobbled Fowler earlier this month. If Saturday's speed is any indication, he's feeling a lot better.

Dexter Fowler (hip) hopes to return to the Rockies' lineup Saturday.
Fowler limped off the field on Friday after he collided with Rays first baseman Sean Rodriguez trying to beat out a bunt. The injury isn't considered serious, but the Rockies could still decide to rest him as a precautionary measure. Eric Young will likely start in center field if he's held out.

Dexter Fowler has been diagnosed with right hip flexor soreness after he was removed from Friday's game against the Rays after colliding with Sean Rodriguez on a bunt attempt.
Fowler is considered day-to-day. It seems likely that he'll get the day off on Saturday to be safe, but should return to the lineup on Sunday. He's in the midst of a terrific offensive season, hitting .303/.410/.606 with eight homers, 15 RBI and four stolen bases through his first 27 games.
