Coors Field is considerably more pitcher-friendly these days, but what the rotation did in one jaw- dropping turn on the homestand is hard to ignore - a 3-1 record with a 2.65 earned-run average.

"What do you say?" Helton said. "It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it, but it's a lot of fun to play behind."
