Murphy tied the game with a two-out, two-run shot against Zack Greinke in the fourth inning for his sixth long ball of the year. Surprisingly, all of Murphy's home runs this season have come on the road, not his home stadium at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Despite a slow start to the season, the 34-year-old has continued to improve, and is now batting .278/.326/.473 with 39 RBI and 22 runs scored.

Murphy recorded three hits and also drove in two runs during the series with San Diego, but that might have been one of the more modest outputs among lineup regulars with the Padres and Rockies setting a modern-era record for a four-game set with 92 combined runs scored. In any case, Murphy's fantasy managers have to be pleased that his batting average is continuing to climb steadily after a rough start to his Colorado tenure. He's hitting .377 with a .955 OPS through 13 games in June.
