Troy Tulowitzki will be benched for Wednesday's game after swinging at a first pitch in his last at-bat Tuesday night. He grounded into a double-play in the 8-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

"I don't want to be a little-league manager and tell every guy who steps up there to take a strike," Clint Hurdle said. "But we need to be smarter with our at-bats."
