Rockies lose star Tulowitzki to leg cramp
PITTSBURGH — Troy Tulowitzki sent a slow roller to shortstop and sprinted to first. The All-Star shortstop was a few steps from the bag when he suddenly grabbed his left leg and grimaced before gingerly making his way to the dugout.
Tulowitzki left in the fourth inning Saturday night with what the team said is a cramp. Minus their franchise cornerstone, the Rockies fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 in 11 innings on Saturday night.
Tulowitzki did not play in Colorado's 5-3 loss on Sunday.
“Nothing serious,” said Tulowitzki, who leads the majors in batting average (.340) and runs (71). “The good news is I don't think I tore anything or did anything to where I'm going to miss an extended period of time.”
