Todd Helton played his final game Sept. 29, 2013, at Dodger Stadium. Nearly 10 years ago.He turns 50 on Sunday.It doesn’t seem possible.Helton returned to Coors Field on Saturday as part of the Rockies’ season-long 30th-anniversary celebration. Helton was, well, Helton.No. 17 hates talking about himself, and he’s never been comfortable in front of TV cameras, but he answered questions while sitting in the Rockies dugout surrounded by reporters, microphones and cameras. His dry, deadpan sense of humor broke through a couple of times. But mostly, Helton kept things low-key.Asked if he was tempted to “go take some hacks” with the current Rockies during batting practice, he replied, “Not at all. I haven’t thrown a ball or picked up a bat in 10 years.”I asked him the obligatory questions about his likely induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame next year after coming up just 11 votes short this year.“I’d be lying to you...

The Phillies had lost four of five.Turner became the first Phillies player to hit two home runs in an inning since Von Hayes accomplished the feat on June 11, 1985, in the first inning against the New York Mets.“I’ve never hit two home runs in an inning,” Turner said. “I told the broadcast I’m usually the guy that makes two outs in those innings. There’s always one of those guys, and I feel like it’s usually me. It’s probably not, but that’s what it feels like, and to be on the other side of it was definitely a lot more fun.”Riley Adams drove in two runs for Washington, which had won six of its last se...
