Ezequiel Tovar - Ending season on strong note Tovar went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored Saturday against the Cubs.

Impact Tovar has recorded at least one hit in nine of his last 10 games, a stretch that began with the benefit of his home park but has continued since the Rockies began a road trip Monday. In those 10 games, he has tallied five multi-hit performances and has also racked up nine RBI and six runs scored. Tovar has had an inconsistent rookie season, but he'll end up with double-digit home runs and stolen bases while also topping 70 RBI and runs scored.

Brenton Doyle - Reaches 20 thefts Doyle went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 loss against the Cubs.

Impact Doyle laced a run-scoring double in the second inning before bunting his way on and stealing second base in the fourth. Known best for his fielding prowess and speed, the 25-year-old outfielder showcased the latter once again Saturday, giving him 20 steals in his rookie campaign. In 118 games this season, Doyle is hitting .197 with 15 doubles, nine home runs, 41 RBI and 45 runs scored across 371 at-bats.

Chris Flexen - Solid outing in Chicago Flexen did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over five innings against the Cubs. He struck out one.

Impact After surrendering a run-scoring double to Ian Happ in the first frame, Flexen settled in and held the Cubs scoreless until a fifth-inning sacrifice fly accounted for his only other blemish. Unfortunately, Chicago's late rally disqualified the 29-year-old righty from earning his second win of the campaign. Saturday was the first time in Flexen's five September starts that he was able to limit the opposition to less than three runs, accumulating an unfortunate 8.20 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 18.2 innings across his previous four tries. He currently lines up to face the Dodgers at Coors Field in his final regular-season start next week.
