Sizzle
1. Troy Tulowitzki » Carrying the wild-card leading Rockies through August. The shortstop entered Wednesday 15-for-41 with three HR, and 11 RBI this month — and he also hit for the cycle Monday. Colorado is in town next Tuesday to face the Nats.

2. Mark Reynolds » The former U.Va. star has taken his game to a new level for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The third baseman already has seven homers this month — including one in each game last weekend against the Nats — and 36 overall, second-most in the majors.

2. Rashard Lewis » Magic forward found the perfect way to celebrate the launch of his new Nike commercial last week: A 10-game suspension for performance-enhancing supplements! Likely just a mistake. But Lewis is still guilty of terrible timing.
