Worth noting

• Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was not in the starting lineup for the third time this season on Wednesday, the others being April 7 and the second game of a doubleheader on April 16. But he did pinch-hit, going 1-for-2 with a run scored.

Weiss said Wednesday was a planned day off for Tulowitzki, and that when a doubleheader Tuesday was necessitated by Monday's postponement, Tulowitzki said he wanted to play both games and stay with the plan of taking Wednesday off.

The Braves won the second game, 10-2, breaking the game open with a four-run ninth. Asked whether he considered taking Tulowitzki out of the game on a cold night, Weiss said, "I thought about it, but I think it was 7-1 in the seventh or eighth [actually 6-1]. I thought he might hit an eight-run homer at some point."

• The Rockies played two doubleheaders in seven days for the second time in their history. The only other time was on Aug. 13 and Aug. 15, 1999, against Montreal. Before Tuesday, the last time the Rockies were swept by the Braves in a doubleheader was May 8, 2003, at Turner Field, where the Braves won 12-6 and 5-2.

• Michael Cuddyer and Josh Rutledge hit back-to-back homers in the second inning. It's the first time the Rockies have done that this season.
