Todd Helton doubled on Sunday for the 2,500th hit of his Major League career.
He struck out three times in Saturday's loss and was 0-for-2 to start Sunday's game, intentionally walked in the fifth to the displeasure of the Coors Field crowd.
"Every at-bat felt like it was getting longer and longer," Helton said. "I was getting a little concerned because I definitely wanted to get 2,500 here at home in front of the home crowd. I was already in my mind thinking of who was pitching tomorrow. Fans were great, teammates were great. It was mostly relief, but I was excited."
It was fitting that the milestone came on a double for the player who leads all active players with 584 career doubles.
