Worth noting

• Despite the fact that Tyler Pastornicky was deemed ready to play on Friday, Dan Uggla got a second straight start at second base. Gonzalez said he simply liked the matchup. Uggla had recorded two hits in three previous at-bats against Rockies starting pitcher Jordan Lyles.

Evan Gattis has regained most of the strength that he lost while battling a virus this week. Gonzalez said he hopes to get Gattis back in the lineup on Saturday or Sunday.

• Doumit entered Friday with four hits, including two doubles and a home run, in his past five pinch-hit at-bats. Doumit began this season 3-for-16 as a pinch-hitter.
