Rockies catcher Tom Murphy hit his first career home run Saturday, going 3 for 5 with two RBI in a 10-2 drubbing of the Padres.
Murphy's showed good pop at the minor league level, hitting 20 home runs this season between Double-A and Triple-A. With primary catcher Nick Hundley on the 60-day disabled list, and 28-year-old Dustin Garneau possessing limited upside, look for Murphy to receive an uptick in playing time through the season.
