Summary

Having missed the first 68 games of the season due to a groin injury,[7] right fielder Larry Walker's first three home runs of the season came on June 25 against Cleveland.[8][9] The last was off José Jiménez, which won the game for the Rockies in the 10th inning for a 10−8 margin. Walker totaled four hits and five runs batted in (RBI) on the day, and it was his third career three-home run game.[10]

Walker reached 2,000 career hits on June 30 becoming the 234th player in major league history to do so.[11] Having already achieved 400 doubles, 300 home runs, 1,000 runs scored, and 1,000 RBI, he became the 40th player to reach all five totals. The milestone hit was a double off Ben Sheets in the fourth inning versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Through that point, Walker was the Rockies' career leader in 12 categories.[7]
