Michael Cuddyer doubled home two runs in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 4-1 win over the Brewers.

Cuddyer’s eighth-inning two-bagger off of Francisco Rodriguez provided Colorado with two valuable insurance tallies, and gives him 11 RBI through his first 15 games in the Rockies’ purple pinstripes. Batting .345/.368/.636, he’s a match made in heaven with the thin air of Coors Field.
