LOS ANGELES — Colorado Rockies<\/a> first baseman TJ Rumfield<\/a> exited his team’s 5-3 loss<\/a> to the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> on Monday night, after getting hit by a pitch.<\/p>\n

Emmet Sheehan<\/a> hit Rumfield in the first inning. The rookie took first base after being examined by a trainer, but left the game in the bottom of the inning with a right hand contusion. Rumfield was replaced by Edouard Julien<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Headed into the loss, Rumfield led the Rockies and ranked second among all rookies with 54 hits, which was good for first in the National League. He also ranked among qualified rookies in games (54, first), batting average (.284, first), RBI (27, tied for fourth) and extra-base hits (17, tied for fourth).<\/p>\n

He hit .315 with 12 extra-base hits and 16 RBIs in the previous 29 games, before Monday, since April 22.<\/p>\n

The Rockies also lost starting lefty Jose Quintana<\/a> to the 15-day IL due to a left elbow sprain. Quintana left his start on Sunday against the Diamondback in the second inning due to discomfort in the elbow.<\/p>\n
