Dexter Fowler doubled, homered and drove in three runs in Wednesday's 13-5 rout of the Astros in Colorado.
In what was a classic Coors Field laser show, Michael Cuddyer hit a grand slam while Carlos Gonzalez went deep three times as the Rockies rolled. As for Fowler, he now has four extra-base hits in his past two games, and 18 on the season. He's batting .281/.374/.578 through Colorado's first 49 games. Fowler has flashed signs of brilliance only to fade back to frustrating before, but he'll be a highly intriguing own going forward.

Dexter Fowler went 4-for-4 with a homer and a walk-off triple in Monday's win of the second game of a doubleheader with the Astros.
Fowler went 7-for-9 with three RBI and five runs scored in the two games of the doubleheader sweep. We'd say the ankle injury that cost him the previous four contests is no longer an issue. Fowler is now hitting .276 with seven homers and 23 RBI for the year.

Dexter Fowler went 3-for-3 with a triple, double and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks.
Both of Fowler's RBI came on his second-inning triple off of Patrick Corbin. Stunningly, the multi-hit night was Fowler's first of the month, and just his third of the season. The big night upped his triple slash from .219/.318/.406 to .242/.336/.455. He's going to have to keep hitting to hold off Tyler Colvin and gain fickle manager Jim Tracy's trust.
