| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, September 18th, 2030: Tolbert Rocks Reds for 3 HRs
What did Matt Tolbert eat for breakfast prior to his game against Cincinnati? Whatever it was, it provided some surprising power as the Colorado second baseman smacked three balls up and out of the park at Coors Field. His power surge sparked the Rockies to a 16-1 victory over the Reds.
He told BNN reporters, "When they throw it in your wheelhouse, you got a shot at a homer. I got three shots today and nailed them all."
On his 3-homer day he went 4 for 4, scored 4 times, drove in 6 and put his name in the league record book.
M. Tolbert hit a two-run home run off D. Duvall in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off K. Heath in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off D. Brandon in the 8th.
Thus far in 2030 Tolbert is batting .303 with 56 home runs, 160 RBIs and 107 runs scored.
