Rookie Dexter Fowler steals five bases against San Diego to lead the Rockies to a 12 – 7 victory. The Rocks steal eight bases overall against the battery of Chris Young and Nick Hundley. As part of the madness on the base paths, Brad Hawpe is hit in the head by catcher Hundley’s pick-off attempt at second base and is knocked out of the game. Fowler ties the post-1900 rookie record for steals in a game.
